Abstract: | The reflection and transmission coefficients of holographic Fabry-Perot filters (HFPF's) are derived. Angular selectivities and wavelength sensitivities of the HFPF's on transmitted light are investigated. The effects of transmission by a HFPF on the spectrum and on the coherence properties of a partially coherent incident light are also analyzed. Numerical examples are presented for the case in which the incident light is generated by a Gaussian Schell-model source. |
