Explanation of the diffraction fine-structure in overexposed thick holograms
Abstract
The far-field diffraction patterns of overexposed thick holographic gratings often contain circular or arcuate structures. The geometrical properties of these patterns were explained earlier. This letter explains the fine-structure of the rings using an extension of the kinematical theory of X-ray diffraction.
