Several dynamical aspects of the DuPont photopolymer film HRF-150-38 for holographic storage are described. We study temporal aspects of exposure, exposure time, processing situations, and storage effect. The quantities studied are diffraction efficiencies, thickness changes, and Bragg angle. The experimental results are performed with an argon-ion laser at 514.5 nm.

Hologram formation and diffusion reactions in photopolymer films are examined at different stages of exposure and at different spatial frequencies. Different properties of the grating formation process are evaluated from efficiency data, including the relative rates of diffusion and photoinitiated polymerization, dye absorption, and residual efficiency enhancement after UV curing. It was also found that gratings with larger periods (approximately 1.

We report reliability-test results of transmission-type holographic optical elements (HOE's) made with the DuPont photopolymer HRF-600. The reliability tests performed include 6000 cycles of liquid-to-liquid thermal-shock cycling (-55 degrees C-125 degrees C), 2200 cycles of air-to-air thermal cycling (-55 degrees C-125 degrees C), 1500 h of humidity testing (85 degrees C and a relative humidity of 85%), and 675 h of burn-in testing at 125 degrees C. A total of 210 holograms was tested, with 532 data points collected for diffraction-efficiency measurements.

An expected weak reflectance of the recorded mirror holograms could be significantly increased by preillumination. Although pulsed preillumination enhanced only the reflectance, continuous incoherent preillumination significantly increased both the diffraction efficiency (which reached ~80%) and the sensitivity (which reached an increase of ~100 times, thus approaching the sensitivity of cw recording).

Recording of multiplexed microholographic gratings with improved recording volume for high density optical data storage is proposed and demonstrated. By using a hybrid diffractive-refractive objective lens with extended depth of focus, we have achieved a recording beam size of approximately 1 microm and a focal depth of 20 microm. Multiple gratings corresponding to spectral lines within the 400-650 nm spectral band have been successfully multiplexed in a single recording spot or pit of size 1.

A new structure for polarization-selective elements, consisting of two holographic gratings and a Dove prism coupler, is proposed. The absence of a multistage waveguide and the benefits of compact size and lightweight volume are the outstanding features of the new structure. Based on the coupled-wave theory, the analysis and design of the structure are discussed in detail to calculate the required index modulation.
