PVA glue as a recording holographic medium

Abstract

PVA (Polyvinyl acetate ) glue is one of the most common forms of adhesive on the market, which is popular because it has an ability to adhere to many different surface, but besides in this research we shown that can be employed as polymeric matrix and is employed for holographic recording when this is doped with ammonium dichromate. Thin, uniform coating of this photopolymer is generated by gravity settling method. The drying time for the photosensitive layers is approximately 24 h. Therefore, we present the experimental results obtained through diffraction gratings were recorded using a laser of He-Cd (442 nm).Furthermore the average results of the diffraction efficiency parameter which is quantified by their two first orders of diffraction. The PVA glue with ammonium dichromate can be considered as versatile holographic recording media due to their good sensitivity low cost and self -developing.
