Diffraction of a plane electromagnetic wave falling onto a thick hologram at the first-order Bragg angle at the non-linear recording conditions is analyzed using the coupled-wave equations. It is shown that, under the non-linear conditions, one can use double-wave approximation and the effective values for the modulated refractive index. Analytical dependences of the hologram diffraction efficiency on thickness are obtained. A possibility is revealed for using the effective value of the refractive index for the case of slight deviations from the Bragg angle.

Key words: grating, diffraction, coupled waves.
