ABSTRACTDynamic behavior of thin photoaddressable polyester films was studied. The saturation process due to Fourier holographic recording was investigated. Model experiments show an optimal intensity ratio of the object and reference beams, where the highest efficiency occurs. This ratio is inversely proportional to the reference intensity. The material has a significantly higher sensitivity at 407 nm than at 532 nm. For 1 μm thick sample an M# of 0.25 was measurable.

In this paper, we report our investigations on thick holographic recording material of the phenanthrenequinone doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PQ:PMMA) photopolymer. The design strategy and fabrication technique for making thick polymer samples with negligible shrinkage and good optical quality are presented. The physical mechanism for holographic recording in PQ:PMMA material is described, and methods for improving are proposed. Based on these methods, photopolymer samples with different compositions are fabricated and experimentally characterized. The results show that by modifying compositions, the material sensitivity and dynamic range for volume holographic recording have been improved.

In this work surface relief direct formation during holographic recording in poly (Disperse Red 1 – methacrylate) films was studied. In this material azo-dye Disperse Red 1 is covalently attached to the main polymeric chain making lateral mass transport in the film caused by a presence of light electric field direction modulation very fast and effective. Surface relief grating formation process was induced by 532 nm laser. Read-out was performed by 660 nm diode laser. Diffraction efficiencies kinetics dependence on polarization state of reading and recording beams was studied. Surface relief depth on the films was measured by AFM. Deep surface relief gratings were obtained in Poly (Disperse Red 1 – methacrylate). Films relief can exceed the initial thickness of the sample more than three times. Fabrication of such surface relief gratings is fast and easy. They can find their application in data storage, electro-optical devices, telecommunication.

Polymerisation-induced shrinkage is one of the main reasons why many photopolymer materials are not used for certain applications including holographic optical elements and holographic data storage. Here, two compositional changes for the reduction of shrinkage in an acrylamide-based photopolymer are reported. A holographic interferometric technique was used to study changes in the dynamics of the shrinkage processes occurring in the modified photopolymer during holographic recording in real time. Firstly, the effect of the replacement of the acrylamide monomer in the photopolymer composition with a larger monomer molecule, diacetone acrylamide, on polymerisation-induced shrinkage has been studied. A reduction in relative shrinkage of 10–15% is obtained using this compositional change. The second method tested for shrinkage reduction involved the incorporation of BEA-type zeolite nanoparticles in the acrylamide-based photopolymer. A reduction in relative shrinkage of 13% was observed for acrylamide photopolymer layers doped with 2.5% wt. BEA zeolites in comparison to the undoped photopolymer.
