Abstract

A theoretical explanation of fixed holograms with high diffraction efficiency is given based on jointly solving the material equations and the coupled-wave equations. The dynamics of the recording and fixing diffraction efficiency can be effectively described and analyzed by using this method. The optimal recording wavelength for high fixed diffraction efficiency is discussed in detail. There is an optimal switching time for the maximum diffraction efficiency up to an ideal of 100%. Theoretical results can confirm the optimal recording wavelength for maximum diffraction efficiency of thermal fixing in Fe doped LiNbO₃ crystal.
