Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. Using Kogelnik's coupled-wave theory we shall obtain information about the…

The use of bleaching techniques is perhaps one of the most popular methods of creating phase holograms from holographic emulsions. In this paper we will study the influence of the different experimental conditions on the refractive index modulation created inside…
