Photoinduced holographic surface relief gratings in thin self-developing dichromated polymer films: parametric study

摘要

Photoinduced holographic surface relief gratings have been fabricate din dichromated poly(acrylic acid) films. These gratings are formed in darkness subsequent to the illumination at 442 nm and they are obtained without any chemical treatment or wet processing. The influence of chemical parameters, such as ammonium dichromate and dimethylformamide concentrations, on the holographic characteristics of these gratings have been investigated. Holographic characteristics of the recording medium such as diffraction efficiency as a function of exposure, ammonium dichromate and dimethylformamide concentrations, and spatial frequency are presented in this paper.
