Abstract
A method of copying a thick hologram, recorded at wavelength .lambda..sub.1, so that the copy can be efficiently read out with a beam .lambda..sub.3 at the same incident angle as used to efficiently read out the original. The method involves copying the hologram using wavelength .lambda..sub.2 at a predetermined incident angle, which incident angle provides fringe angles in the copy to yield maximum diffraction efficiency of the read-out beam .lambda..sub.3.
