Photopolymer-Filled Nanoporous Glass as a Dimensionally Stable Holographic Recording Medium
01 January 1999
The holographic recording characteristics of a photopolymer/nanoporous glass composite are reported. An M/# of 3.2 is measured in the media by angle-multiplexing a series of plane-wave holograms. In addition, the dimensional stability of the material is demonstrated by the negligible Bragg detuning of a set of angle-multiplexed holograms with varying grating tilt angles and by the relative insensitivity of the detuning to changes in temperature.
