“…Positively or negatively charged oxygen-containing ions deposited on the sample surface, during the charging process, generate a constant electric field in the sample volume. Obviously, the electric field that is created in the case of a transmission grating recording worsens the recording in the acrylamidebased photopolymers in contrast to the chalcogenide glasses and azopolymers for which an increase of the DE has been earlier observed by Nastas et al, 3 Reinke et al, 4 Couture et al 7 and Natansohn et al 8 The addition of Si-MFI nanoparticles does not have any influence on the transmission unslanted grating recordings, but significant changes are observed in the TIR grating recordings. There are two effects that need to be considered here.…”

The influence of corona charging on holographic recording in acrylamide-based photopolymer nanocomposite containing MFI zeolite nanoparticles has been studied. The holographic recording was carried out in two different geometries -transmission grating recording and total internal reflection grating recording. During the recording process, the layers were charged in a corona field. It was observed that independently of the corona polarity, in the case of transmission geometry of recording, the corona charging led to a decrease in the diffraction efficiency (DE) of the grating. In the case of the total internal reflection grating, the DE increased in the corona field presence.

“…This should lead to the de- crease in the diffraction efficiency at the longer exposures. 38,39 The effect of the backbone structure on the inscription rates of grating formation under s-p polarization in the polymers is also observed. Poly(amideimide)s PI 2 and PI 5 which possess four methyl groups in polymer chain when compared to others revealed the fastest grating recording rates at both wavelengths.…”

ABSTRACT:We present the diffraction grating recording in a series of poly(amideimide)s functionalized with methyl-substituted azobenzene chromophore as side group and correlate the results with the molecular structure. Poly-(amideimide)s, differing in their backbone structure and in position in which azobenzene group is attached to polymer chain, were synthesized and characterized by the spectroscopic methods. Diffraction gratings were fabricated using degenerate two-wave mixing technique with cw Ar þ laser working at ! ¼ 514:5 nm and monitored by light diffraction of low power He-Ne probe beam ! ¼ 632:8 nm in a transmission mode. Two qualitatively different configurations of the recording beam polarizations were used s-s and s-p. The dynamics of diffraction grating inscription was described by mono-or biexponential growth functions. The surface relief grating formation was also examined in poly(amideimide)s. They were studied by atomic force microscope and revealed the strong dependence on the writing beams polarization. Additionally the thermal stability of the photoinduced surface gratings was checked.

“…The phase grating ͓⌽͑t͔͒ is the result of the formation of three gratings and their mutual phase shifts. Since three gratings are formed independently during the recording process and they are shifted one to another, a simple vectorial grating approach is necessary for a proper description of ⌽͑t͒, 21 …”

The authors report on a complex diffraction efficiency dynamics of the holographic grating recording process in azobenzene-functionalized polymer for a long recording time. The nonexponential dynamics was explain by the mechanism which assumes (i) simultaneous formation of three coupling phase gratings with constant, equal 0 or π, phase shifts between them and (ii) occurrence of gratings erasure processes when the recording time is long. Based on these assumptions and applying the Bessel function, the diffraction efficiency dynamics was calculated.
