RESUMEN
Dichromated poly(acrylic acid) films with dimethyl formamide have been used as a real-time recording medium for volume transmission holograms. In this study a simple computer-generated holographic grating with a sinusoidal amplitude profile is copied onto this recording material by the contact-copying technique. The experimental setup for the contact copying of a computer-generated hologram (CGH) is explained, and the phase modulation is observed for a different exposure time. Theoretical and experimental diffraction efficiency values for the CGH copy are also evaluated. Photographs of the original and copy of the CGH on the photopolymer film are presented.
RESUMEN
An improvement in the conventional holographic recording setup has been done for liquid (photopolymerizable) or flexible recording materials. The new vertical recording setup that comprises a horizontal substrate holder permits holographic recording on such materials without positioning them between two substrates, as has been done until now. This setup can be conveniently used for the fabrication of transmission, reflection, Fourier transform, and computer-generated holograms with few simple modifications as indicated.
