Achromatization of the Volume Holographic Optical Elemens

Abstract

The work considers a two-component holographic optical system having a base element in the form of a thick (volume) hologram optical element and intended for use in a given spectral range. The calculation of a two-component holographic system is carried out using formulas obtained from the mirror-lens model of the thick hologram element proposed by the author. It is indicated that according to the mirror model a thick hologram optical element is achromatic in a first approximation. For this the local period of the volume diffraction structure of the hologram element must be many times greater than the working wavelength, and the transverse dimensions of the element must be less than its thickness. Analytical expressions are given for the mutual correction of the chromatic aberration of the position of a thick hologram optical element and a relief kinoform element. The condition for achromatization of this two-component holographic system is formulated.
