Abstract

The goal of this research is recording of volume holograms in thick photopolymer material, based on the use of forbidden singlet–triplet transitions of the dye-sensitizer with high intensity (up to 12 GW cm−2) nanosecond pulses at λ=532nm. The material has threshold character of recording, that can lead to improved three-dimensional (3D) control of photochemical or photophysical processes. This is especially important for the microholographic approach to 3D multilayer optical data storage. The concentrations of the dye-sensitizer and electron donor in the photopolymer was optimized, and high value of refractive index change of 3.1⋅10−3 was achieved. The sensitivity of the material under research is much higher than the sensitivity of materials using two-photon absorption, which made it possible to record microholograms by a single laser pulse. Using the method of heterodyne detection, we also studied the spatial distribution of the optical inhomogeneity in photopolymer material.
