Abstract

Data are presented from studies of the temperature dependence of the diffraction efficiency and radiation resistance of volume phase hologram/transmission gratings. The reversible diffraction efficiencies are described by the phase equilibrium diagram for the polymer-diffusate system. The radiation resistance of these hologram/gratings is determined by the thresholds for photothermolytic decay of the diffusate, bromonaphthalene, that was used. Composites containing diffusates with high thresholds for photolysis and thermolysis are studied. As a result, modified versions of the photopolymer recording medium with radiation resistances exceeding 200 MW/cm2 are proposed.
