Chirped pulse distortion in stratified volume reflection gratings

The problem of chirped pulse light Bragg diffraction by stratified volume reflection gratings is considered using characteristic matrix method. The spectral profiles of the transmitted and diffracted chirped pulses have been presented. Using these expressions the calculations of the diffracted spectra and diffraction efficiency have been made in the wide range of initial parameters of incident chirped pulse and the stratified volume reflection gratings. Variously shaped spectral distortions have been revealed and discussed based on these calculations.
