The invention discloses a holographic sight based on a volume Bragg grating, and belongs to the field of holographic optics. The holographic sight comprises a sight housing, a semiconductor laser, a wave-locking element, a beam expander, an off-axis parabolic reflector and a holographic grating. The wave-locking element is a reflective volume Bragg grating, and the holographic grating is a transmissive volume Bragg grating. Both have excellent selectivity for the wavelength and incident angle of light. At the same time, both are made of photothermorefractive glass, which is less affected by the external temperature and can effectively reduce the deviation of the output wavelength, thereby reducing the deviation of the holographic grating mark image and increasing the accuracy and stability of the holographic sight. The photothermorefractive glass has a high refractive index modulation degree, which achieves a higher holographic diffraction efficiency, making the displayed holographic image brighter and more recognizable. In addition, the components of the beam expander and the off-axis parabolic reflector are used to shorten the optical path and reduce the overall structural size of the sight.
