Abstract
A new concept is presented for the easy preparation of polymer systems which are characterized by a persistent photoinduced refractive-index change. These organic materials are based upon highly viscous prepolymers, reactive multifunctional thinners and uv-photoinitiators used in very high concentrations of max. 25%. Waveguiding thin films are applied for the optical recording of refractive-index gratings. The index modulation is enhanced by a dry development at 20–50°C up to 1.0×10 -2. A holographically produced grating coupler reaches efficiencies of 33% for an incident HeNe laser beam.
