Abstract
A theoretical analysis of asymmetrical diffraction in Raman-Nath, intermediate and Bragg diffraction regimes is presented. The asymmetry is achieved by combining matched periodic modulations of the phase and of the loss/gain of the material, which enables the breakdown of optical symmetry and redirects all resulting optical energy in only positive or only negative diffraction orders, depending on the quarter period shift directions between the phase and the loss/gain modulations. Analytic expressions for the amplitudes of the diffraction orders are derived based on rigorous multimode coupled mode equations in slowly varying amplitude approximation.
