The standard one-dimensional diffusion equation is extended to include nonlocal temporal and spatial medium responses. How such nonlocal effects arise in a photopolymer is discussed. It is argued that assuming rapid polymer ...
In recent years the interest in thick holographic recording materials for storage applications has increased. In particular,
photopolymers are interesting materials for obtaining inexpensive thick dry layers with low noise ...
Holography has been of increasing interest in recent years, with developments in many areas such as data storage and metrology. Photopolymer materials provide potentially good materials for holographic recording, as they ...
The nonlocal polymerization-driven diffusion model (NPDD) has been shown to predict high spatial frequency cut-off in photopolymers
and to accurately predict higher order grating components. We propose an
extension ...
We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been ...
There are many types of holographic recording material. The acrylamide-based recording material examined here has one significant
advantage: it is self-processing. This simplifies the recording process and enables holographic ...
