Abstract
The dynamics of the process of writing of holographic diffraction gratings in polymer-dispersed liquid crystals is considered with allowance for absorption. Diffusion of molecules of not only the monomer, but also of the polymer, as well as the influence of inhomogeneity of illumination inside the sample because of the light absorption are taken into account. Also the role of nonlocality of the response of polymerization process is considered.
