Abstract:
Copper doped methylene blue sensitized poly(vinyl alcohol) (MBPVA)–acrylamide films were fabricated to improve the
storage life of recorded gratings. The films were fabricated using gravity settling method and the copper chloride
concentration was optimized as 3:18 10 3 mol/l for a dye concentration of 6:2 10 4 mol/l. The gratings recorded on the
optimized film constitution could be stored for months with stable diffraction efficiency (24%) without any chemical or
thermal fixing techniques. The resolution of the material is found to be unaffected with the addition of copper chloride.

Abstract:
Significant results of our experimental investigations on the dependence of pH on real time
transmission characteristics on recording media fabricated by doping PVC with complexed methylene blue
are presented. The optimum pH value for faster bleaching was found to be 4×5. In typical applications, the
illumination from one side, normal to the surface of this material, initiates a chemical sequence that records
the incident light pattern in the polymer. Thus direct imaging can be successfully done on this sample. The
recorded letters were very legible with good contrast and no scattering centres. Diffraction efficiency
measurements were also carried out on this material.

Abstract:
A new photopolymerizable recording media is introduced based on poly
(vinyl alcohol) and vinyl acetate sensitized with methylene blue. It is observed
that this MBPVA/VAc system can be reused a number of times without
significant decrease in diffraction efficiency. The PVA-VAc ratio was optimized
at 2:1. Diffraction efficiency of 6.3% was obtained without any fixing at a dye
concentration of 9.3 10 4 mol/l at an exposure of 750 mJ/cm2. The material is
attractive on account of its reusability.
