Annotation: The dependence of diffraction efficiency of the reflection hologram on the azimuth of linear polarization of the reference light wave for different cuts of an optically active cubic photorefractive crystal is investigated. The polarization conditions for achieving the maximal values of the reflection holograms diffraction efficiency are found.
