Abstract
Some effects of recording material shrinkage on the properties of a volume reflective phase hologram are investigated. A method is proposed for solving the inverse problem of experimental determination of the value of material shrinkage by the optimal hologram reconstruction conditions that have been changed by its effect. Conditions for a solution of the inverse problem are presented. The theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement. The proposed model can be applied with account for the material shrinkage in the course of designing holographic optical elements and holograms of diffused objects.
