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:
Plane-wave transmission gratings were stored in the same location of silver-
doped photopolymer ¯lm using peristrophic multiplexing techniques. Constant and vari-
able exposure scheduling methods were adopted for storing gratings in the ¯lm using
He{Ne laser (632.8 nm). The role of recording geometry on the dynamic range of the ma-
terial was studied by comparing the results obtained from both techniques. Peristrophic
multiplexing with rotation of the ¯lm in a plane normal to the bisector of the incident
beams resulted in better homogenization of di®raction e±ciencies and larger M/# value.
