Abstract

The theoretical and experimental estimations of optimal optical density of absorbing holographic photopolymer materials for different schemes of holograms recording are carried out. The estimations are based on analytical equations for dependence of the rate photoinduced change of refractive index and effective thickness of the volume holograms on the initial optical density of the photopolymer. Good accordance of theoretical curves and experimental data is observed. The optimal optical density for material with direct chromophore phototransformation is discussed.
