Abstract

The process of optical formation of relief holograms from photopolymerizing composites with nonpolymerization-capable additives is experimentally investigated. The conditions for inhomogeneous optical displacement of these components onto the surface of the photopolymer are determined. It is shown that using butyl alcohol as a nonpolymerization-capable component not only makes it possible to efficiently create polymeric relief by an inhomogeneous intensity distribution even with low contrast but also makes it possible to optimize the diffraction efficiency of relief polymeric holograms by the concentration of this additive.
