Abstract

Changes in the angular Bragg selectivity of volume holograms stored in photorefractive LiNbO3 are analysed for different experimental conditions in the transmission geometry. The effects of the refractive-index-change amplitude, the grating period, the modulation depth, and the wave-front modulation of the signal beam are considered. A very good agreement of the results with the off-Bragg diffraction theory is observed.
