Abstract

In the present study, the process of formation of holographic transmission diffraction gratings in photopolymer media is investigated at low contrasts with allowance for self-diffraction of recording waves. A theoretical model for the first spatial harmonics of the refractive index grating is constructed based on a solution of the coupled kinetic photopolymerization and diffraction equations. The temporal dynamics of amplitude and phase spatial profiles of harmonics, diffraction efficiency, and angular selectivity of recorded gratings is theoretically investigated. The calculated and experimental data are compared.
