Abstract
In contrast to previous models diffraction efficiencies of evanescent-wave holograms are calculated within the framework of a slab model that takes into account the finite thickness of the recording medium. This modification leads to characteristic diffraction efficiency oscillations with respect to reconstruction angle and medium thickness as well. One obtains higher diffraction efficiency maxima and pseudo-optical tunnelling. The analysis covers TE-polarized fields.
