Af. Skochilov, DIFFRACTION EFFICIENCY OF A VOLUME PHASE TRANSMISSION GRATING FOR TOTAL INTERNAL-REFLECTION OF A TM-WAVE AT THE HOLOGRAM BOUNDARY, Soviet journal of optical technology, 60(9), 1993, pp. 623-624
The problem of the diffraction of a plane electromagnetic wave by a vo
lume phase transmission grating is solved by coupled-wave theory for t
he condition of total internal reflection of light at the hologram bou
ndary. Analytical expressions are obtained for calculating the diffrac
tion efficiency of the TM wave, which can be applied to the case of gr
azing incidence, when the second derivatives in the coupled-wave equat
ions must be taken into account.
