Abstract

The relationship between the diffraction efficiency of a reflection hologram and the thickness and absorption coefficient of the recording medium was studied. The diffraction efficiency of a reflection hologram was found to increase monotonically with a decrease in the absorption coefficient a of the recording medium, but varies nonmonotonically with an increase of the thickness T of the recording medium. Maximum diffraction efficiency was obtained when T and α satisfied the relationship T= 1/α. Finally, we suggest a method to improve the quality of reflection holograms.
