Abstract

In this paper, our simplified model for grating formation in photopolymers is extended to describe the effects of uniform post-exposure on an existing hologram, and further to present a new model of holographic multiplexing for calculating the exposure schedule for multiplexed gratings with uniform diffraction efficiency. It is experimentally verified that the refractive-index modulation of the existing gratings continues to increase when a current grating is being recorded. Twenty gratings were multiplexed using the exposure schedule calculated with the uniform post-exposure model, and comparison with the result from traditional method confirmed the validity of this model.
