Abstract
The physical properties of photopolymer grating formation are, for the first time, investigated elaborately with respect to I, and (Lambda) . The dynamics of holographic recording with constant exposure energy (15mJ/cm2), are evaluated for a wide range of different I (mW/cm2 - W/cm2), and for a few typical (Lambda) (0.5 - 3.5 micrometer), in a material utilizing cationing-ring-opening polymerization (Polaroid CROP ULSH-500B). Diffusion was evaluated to limit the photo- initiated recording sensitivity at high I(greater than W/cm2 approximately (Lambda) -2). At the same time, however, the significant post-exposure grating development observed for diffusion limited recordings, was identified to allow eventually for equally high sensitive final gratings (approximately 3 - 5 cm/mJ) without reciprocity, or diffusion limitations. Based on these observations, a new physical model was developed that describes more accurately holographic recording utilizing photo-initiated polymerization, and accounts successfully for the observed physical properties of grating formation.
