Abstract

We examine the temperature dependence of edge-illuminated holographic filters formed in phenanthrenquinone doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PQ∕PMMA) operating at $1550\text{\hspace{0.17em} nm}$. It was found that the thermally induced change to the refractive index and volume can be used to select the wavelength filtered by the grating. The temperature can be varied over a range of $15°\text{C}$ without introducing noticeable hysteresis effects. The wavelength can be tuned at a rate of $0.03\text{nm}/°\text{C}$ over this temperature range. A model for the temperature tuning effect is presented and compared to experimental results.
