Abstract
The nonlinear amplitude recording of volume holographic gratings is th eoretically and experimentally studied in electrolytically colored pot assium bromide crystals. A maximum diffraction efficiency of 10.8% is obtained, which substantially exceeds the 3.7% maximum diffraction eff iciency for linear recording.
