Diffuse-object holograms in silver halide emulsions: influence of the beam ratio on the efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio.
The influence of the beam ratio between reference and object beam intensities on the characteristics of diffuse-object holograms recorded as volume phase holograms in bleached silver halide emulsion is experimentally analyzed. Measurements of the diffraction efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio of the holograms are taken. The experimental results presented show that when the beam ratio increases, the diffraction efficiency decreases and the signal-to-noise ratio increases; these two holographic parameters behave in this way no matter what type of processing is used.
