Summary

Photopolymers represent an attractive class of optical recording materials due to properties such as high refractive index modulation, dry film processing, low cost, etc. Applications include holographic data storage disks, optical interconnections, memories and filters. This paper addresses the dynamics of short-exposure holographic grating formation; a new model is proposed to explain the experimental observations of low diffraction efficiency in high spatial frequency gratings.
