The holographic kinetics of organic polymer thin films with low-saturated
absorption are considered both for self-diffraction and diffraction of
a weak probe beam in Raman-Nath conditions. The coupling effect between
different diffracted orders is taking into account. The coupling effect
results in considerable increase of the diffraction efficiency of self-diffracted
beams compared with the diffraction of the probe beam were shown. For the
region of deep saturation the maximum diffraction efficiency is higher
than in the region far from the saturation. The maximum of diffraction
efficiency is reached for considerable shorter time in grating recording
kinetics in the region of deep saturation. This opens the perspective of
using those materials for novelty filter. The experimental results on low-saturated
dry bacteriorhodopsin films well agree the theoretical predictions.
