Abstract :
An extended coupled-wave theory of volume phase holography is developed using Fourier techniques. Fresnel, as well as Bragg, diffraction effects are incorporated for general high-efficiency transmission gratings illuminated by general beams. The method is illustrated by a numerical example.
