Holographic Bragg gratings in a photoresponsive cross-linked polymer–liquid-crystal composite

Abstract: Holographic gratings were in a composite material that comprised a cross-linked polymer with azobenzene side chains and a nematic liquid crystal. Holographic recording was based on the photoinduced alignment of the nematic liquid crystal inside a cell as a result of amplification of the photoreorientation of azobenzene residues. The diffraction efficiency depends on cell thickness and reading angle of the gratings, so this composite material exhibits volume holographic properties with Bragg diffraction.

“…From the mathematical point of view phase demodulation of a single FP is an ill-posed problem because of the inherent sign ambiguity [140]. The phase distributions ϕ 1 (x, y) = (x 2 + y 2 ), ϕ 2 (x, y) = −(x 2 + y 2 ), ϕ 3 (x, y) = W (x 2 + y 2 ) , ϕ 4 (x, y) = (x 2 + y 2 ) at x ≤ 0 and −(x 2 + y 2 ) at x > 0 create the same FP [30,247], as follows from cos ϕ 1 = cos ϕ 3 = cos ϕ 3 = cos ϕ 4 ; W(.)…”

“…Others polymers that can be crosslinked are those containing vinyl bonds in the main chain 11,[15][16][17] . Polymers containing crosslinkable functional groups are interesting since they have practical applications in optoelectronics 18 . On the other hand, research on photonic devices using organic materials has received much attention.…”
