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 . 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.
