23. Absorption at the readout wavelength has not been considered here or in Section 3, and could potentially be an important issue. The current analysis is valid for many of the materials that are currently used for writing thick holograms, provided that the users restrict the sample thickness so that absorption remains negligible.
24. -2 . The best suppression is achieved by a more careful choice of Q, so that the peak of one channel coincides with a null of the sinc-squared-like diffraction efficiency of the nearest channels.
25. FWHM has to have a distinct value. This in turn implies that the output angle has to have a distinct value, making it an output parameter.
26. For holographic materials with a recording curve that does not fit the model used in the paper, one can determine the necessary derivatives used in Eqs. (52)-(54) by experimentally determining the functional dependence of the recording curve on the exposure intensity and duration.
