“…Polymeric recording media containing phenanthrenequinone (PQ) as a photosensitive additive belong to the category of phase holographic media with diffusion amplification. Investigations of the recording and transformation processes of holographic diffraction gratings in such media have been performed mainly for layers with low contents of the additive (∼ 0.5 mol.%) [1][2][3][4]. Samples with a thickness up to 1 mm for hologram recording were produced by block polymerization of the PQ solution in a monomer.…”

Holographic volume gratings in a glass-like polymer material

We demonstrate a possibility to write efficient and thermally stable volume holographic gratings in a glassy polymer material based on PMMA and phenanthrenequinone with layers prepared, by casting the liquid solution of ingredients on a substrate and drying to a solid state. A high concentration of phenanthrenequinone (up to 4 mol. %) makes it possible to use photosensitive layers of lower thicknesses (50-180 µm) for the recording of efficient holographic gratings. The exposing is followed by a thermal amplification of the grating due to diffusion of residual phenanthrenequinone molecules and fixation by an incoherent optical illumination. We present experimental temporal curves of the refractive index modulation and diffraction efficiency both under the exposure and the heating process. The behavior of the gratings under temperatures up to 140 • C has been studied.

Phenanthrenequinone–polymethylmethacrylate composite for polarization phase recording

2009

We present the results of an experimental study of photoanisotropy in polymethylmethacrylate layers containing phenanthrenequinone. We consider the characteristic features of inducing birefringence for different contents of the photosensitive molecules and temperatures of the layer. We propose a mechanism for appearance of photoinduced birefringence; we explain the concentration and temperature dependences of its magnitude based on the dimerization of phenanthrenequinone, established from the IR spectra. We have observed stability of the photoinduced birefringence relative to subsequent exposure to optical radiation, which can be used to improve contrast when converting polarization phase images to amplitude images.
