Abstract
We present here a method to create spectrally addressable phase masks by encoding phase profiles into volume Bragg gratings, allowing these holographic elements to be used as phase masks at any wavelength capable of satisfying the Bragg condition of the hologram. Moreover, this approach enables the capability to encode and multiplex several phase masks into a single holographic element without cross-talk while maintaining a high diffraction efficiency. As examples, we demonstrate fiber mode conversion with near-theoretical conversion efficiency as well as simultaneous mode conversion and beam combining at wavelengths far from the original hologram recording wavelength.
