This letter analyzes the quality of reproduction of holograms recorded in thermoplastic media as a function of the variations in coating thickness of the different layers. The fidelity of reproduction is investigated by means of a phase sampling interferometric technique. It is found that the distortion depends on the processing parameters. A criterion for the optimization of the coating thickness of the layers is given
