Abstract
A simple mathematical description of thick hologram recording and playback is given using a basic wave front representation. Results are obtained for amplitude and phase holography. This approach is very accessible to students and predicts the important results that are obtained in early and some more advanced holography experiments. The approach is also quite general and applies to transmission and reflection holography.
