Figure 1
The incoming free-space o mode excites two guided modes within the crystal, which are linear superpositions of the o and h modes. The guided modes propagate parallel to the diffracting planes and spread into the Bormann fan. At the exit, they excite the free-space o and h modes, whose intensities depend on the crystal thickness (the dual of the impulse duration in atom interferometry). In a symmetrically cut crystal, the diffracting planes are orthogonal to the crystal surfaces.
