ABSTRACT: The coupled wave theory for volume holographic grating with curved interference fringes has been proposed based on the Kogelnik’s coupled wave theory with the plane interference fringes. The formula about the magnitude and directional angle of grating vector in arbitrary position of volume holographic grating with curved grating has been deduced. We found that the wavelength selectivity and angular selectivity may be different in different position of volume holographic curved stripe grating which depend on the angle between the propagation vector of reference beam and signal beam. The larger the angle, the greater the angle and wavelength selectivity, whereas the weaker.
