Title: Determination of the parameters of a holographic layer from its spectral characteristics

Abstract

Methods for estimating the main parameters of holographic sensors (refractive index modulation depth and hologram thickness) from transmission spectra in the absence of absorption and light scattering are discussed. The consideration is performed for layers oriented parallel to the holographic layer surface under normal light incidence. Direct numerical solution of the problem of light propagation in a periodic nonabsorbing medium is used to study the reflection and transmission spectra of the holographic layer in a wide range of variation in its thickness and the refractive index modulation depth. A classification of the reflection regimes from the holographic layer is proposed (from weak reflection to the photonic crystal regime). A comparison with the results obtained by the coupled-wave analysis is performed, and the limitations of this method at a significant spectral detuning from resonance and under conditions of strong reflection are revealed. It is shown that the main hologram parameters can be estimated from the experimental transmission spectrum of the phase hologram (in the case of strong reflection) based on the spectral dip parameters.
