The analytical expressions allowed to calculate the third-, fifth- and seventh-order monochromatic and chromatic aberrations are obtained for the cylindrical volume holographic optical element by method of the characteristic function. The formulas for coefficients of third-, fifth- and seventh-order aberrations are presented. It is noted that coefficients of the aberrations arising because of photo induced, thermally induced and deformation changes of refractive index and of sizes of the cylindrical volume holographic optical element can be isolated in these coefficients. It is shown that width of the working spectral range for reflection cylindrical volume holographic optical element is inversely proportional to its thickness and for transmission holographic element is inversely proportional to square its thickness

Results of calculating the radius of higher-order spherical aberrations (fifth, seventh and ninth orders) of a high-aperture focusing holographic optical element (HOE) with corrected third-order spherical aberration in the operating spectral range are discussed. As examples, high-aperture axial HOEs with relative apertures close to 1:1 in specified spectral ranges are considered. Coordinates of the point sources of a divergent reference wave and a convergent object wave of the HOE are given. It is shown that when imaging a point source emitting in the 0.250-0.281-µm and 0.500- 0.563-µm spectral ranges, the use of an HOE in the first and second diffraction orders makes it is possible to correct the third-order spherical aberration on two wavelengths and the fifth- and seventh-order spherical aberrations on one wavelength. Note that these visible-spectrum wavelengths are different from the HOE's recording wavelength of 0.532 µm.

In this work, we present an extensive theoretical analysis of nonlinear optical waveguide sensor. The waveguide under consideration consists of a thin dielectrica film surrounded by a self-focused nonlinear cladding and a linear substrate. The nonlinearity of the cladding is considered to be of Kerr-type. Both cases, when the effective refractive index is greater and when it is smaller than the index of the guiding layer, are discussed. The sensitivity of the effective refractive index to any change in the cladding index in evanescent optical waveguide sensor is derived for TM modes. Closed form analytical expressions and normalized charts are given to provide the conditions required for the sensor to exhibit its maximum sensitivity. The results are compared with those of the well-known linear evanescent waveguide sensors.
