Abstract

Increasing photosensitizer concentration has been considered as an effective approach to improve the performance of holographic material. In this paper, we report on new method for increasing the saturated dissolvability of photosensitizer PQ within polymeric media by introducing copolymerization monomer into the PQ/PMMA. The photosensitizer concentration of PQ was increased from 0.7wt% to 1.3wt%, compared with the typical PQ/PMMA sample. Besides, we investigated performance of polarization holographic recordings in typical PQ/PMMA and copolymerization monomer-containing PQ/PMMA with the orthogonally polarized signal and reference waves. And the doping of THFMA component resulted in a significant improvement of diffraction intensity and photosensitivity. In addition, high-quality holographic image reconstruction was realized in our home-made material.
