Hologram replication technique in glass plates using corona charging

Abstract

The authors propose a technique of recording in glass plates using corona charging. The recording material used in this study is conventional soda-lime glass. A surface-relief hologram on an azobenzene polymer film coated on a glass plate can be recorded as an electric charge distribution in the glass plate using corona charging. The hologram recorded in the glass plate can be reconstructed as a surface-relief structure on a fresh azobenzene polymer film coated on the glass plate, again using corona charging.
