Abstract

Multilayer thin film theory for a quarterwave stack of thin films is compared with the coupled wave analysis of unslanted reflection volume holograms. The thin film analysis is then extended to simulate holograms in which the average index, index modulation amplitude, and index modulation wavelength are a function of depth in the hologram. Specific examples are shwon which correspond to the spectral shape of actual holographic notch filters. Phenomenological mechanisms are postulated to explain the line shape based on the theoretical analysis.
