Abstract

The Bragg selectivity of holograms recorded in polymers often fits poorly to theory derived for perfectly rigid hosts. We present closed-form and numerical solutions of the coupled-mode equations for distorted holograms in soft hosts. Fits extract index contrast, thickness and distortion from Bragg selectivity that strongly deviates from existing theory.
