Abstract
Specific features of spectral properties of volume reflection holograms are determined, namely, broadening of the spectral response (reflex) contour toward both the short-wave and long-wave spectral ranges in the case where the angle of incidence of the white-light probing beam differs from the direction of reference wave propagation in hologram recording. This effect is essentially different from the known angular dependence of the reflex of the elementary volume reflection grating. A theoretical explanation for experimental data is provided, and formulas are derived, which are used to calculate the transmission spectra of the studied gratings. These spectra are found to be qualitatively consistent with the experiment.
