Based on the results of the coupled-wave theory the diffraction efficiency is calculated for thick phase transmission holographic gratings taking into account the chemical processing of the recording material. Three effects of processing are considered: variations in the average refractive index, changes in thickness and shear-type effects. The comparison of experimental and theoretical results demonstrates the validity of the expression obtained and the important influence of the shearing effects on the efficiency and angular responses of transmission holographic gratings.
