In this paper, we present a novel apodization technique using three beams to fabricate an apodized grating in photopolymer. An orthogonal-polarization beam used to control the saturated modulation amplitude of the grating is added during recording time. As a result of the experiment, holographic apodized gratings with uniform, inverse Gaussian, and triangular profiles are fabricated successfully in DuPont's HRF-150-38 photopolymer.

We have investigated the holographic grating formation on Ag-doped amorphous chalcogenide AsGeSeS thin films with Ag thickness. Holographic gratings have been formed using Diode Pumped Solid State laser (DPSS, 532.0nm) under [P:P] polarized the intensity polarization holography. The diffraction efficiency was obtained by +1st order intensity.

The light and energy-efficiency of classical liquid crystal displays is notoriously poor due to the use of absorption-based linear polarisers and colour filters. For instance, the light efficiency of PVAL polarisers is typically between 40 and 45 % and the colour filters have a typical efficiency below 35 % which results in a total light and energy-efficiency of the display below 10 %. In the past, a variety of polarizers were developed with an enhanced efficiency in generating linearly polarized light. Typically, these polarizers are based on the polarisationselective reflection, scattering or refraction of light i.e. one polarisation direction of light is directly transmitted to the LCD/viewer and the other polarization direction of light is depolarised and recycled which results in a typical efficiency for generating linearly polarized light of 70-85 %. Also, special colour filters have been proposed based on chiral-nematic reactive mesogens which increase the efficiency of generating colour. Despite the enormous progress in this field, a need persists for improved methods for generating polarized light and colour based on low cost optical components with a high efficiency. Here, the use of holographic phase gratings is reported for the generation of polarized light and colour. The phase grating are recorded in a photopolymer which is coated onto a backor frontlight for LCDs. Typically the recording is performed in the transmisson mode or in the waveguiding mode and slanted phase gratings are generated with their refractive index modulation at an angle between 20o and 45o with the normal of the substrate. It is shown that phase gratings with a high refractive index modulation and a high efficiency can be generated by a proper selection of the photopolymer and illumination conditions. These phase gratings coupleout linearly polarized light with a high contrast (> 100) and the light is directed directly to the LCD/viewer without the need for redirection foils. Dependent on the type of phase grating, the different colours are coupled-out at a slightly different angle which potentially increases the efficiency of classical colour filters. Moreover, the phase gratings are completely transparent in direct view which opens the possibility to use them in frontlights for LCDs. Holographic polarization gratings posses a periodic pattern in the polarization state of light (and not in the intensity of light). A periodic pattern in the polarization direction of linearly polarized light is obtained upon interference of two circularly polarized laser beams. In the second part of the lecture, it is shown that these periodic polarization patterns can be recorded in a linear photo-polymerizable polymer (LPP) and that such an alignment layer induces a period rotation in the director of (reactive and non-reactive) liquid crystals. By a proper design, optical components can be produced with only first order diffraction and with a very high efficiency (>0.98). It is shown that these diffraction gratings are potentially useful in projection displays with a high brightness and energy efficiency

서로 대칭인 두 광기능성 그룹들 (4-cyanoazobenzene groups)을 포함하는 측쇄형 액정 고분자(liquid crystalline polymalonic esters, PCN)에 이광파혼합을 이용하여 소거가 가능한 편광 홀로그램을 기록하였다. 기록된 회절격자의 회절효율을 측정하고, 기록광의 세기에 대한 격자의 기록 특성, 암실 상태에서의 감쇠 및 광에 의한 소거 특성을 조사하였다. 측정결과, 복굴절$\Delta$n은 약6.5$\times$10-2;로 Fe:LiNbO3, Ce:BaTiO3 등의 무기결정에 비해 10~100배 정도 높게 측정되었으며, 감쇠곡선도 1시간 동안 4.3$\times$10-5%의 감쇠를 나타냄으로서 정보저장소자로서의 응용 가능성을 보였다.

체적형 홀로그래픽 메모리는 고용량의 저장밀도와 빠른 전송속도를 가지는 장점을 가지고있다. 더 높은 저장밀도를 얻기 위해 다양한 다중화 기법들이 연구되고 있다. 일정한 공간에 여러 개의 정보를 한꺼번에 저장할 수 있는 다중화 기법에는 각도에 따른 다중화, 기록 위치에 따른 다중화, 위상 변화에 따른 다중화를 비롯한 여러 가지 방법이 있다. 대부분의 다중화 기법들은 홀로그램을 저장할 때 순차적으로 기록하게 된다. 하지만 포토폴리머에 한번 정보가 저장되면 그 위에 다시 기록이 되지 않는다. 그래서 한번에 여러 개의 데이터를 저장하고 재생하는 시스템의 필요성이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 점을 고려하여 빛의 편광성분을 이용해 다중화 하는 방법을 연구하였다.

Amorphous chalcogenide glasses have a wide variety of light-induced effects. In this study, we have investigated the diffraction efficiency of chalcogenide. As$_{40}$ Ge$_{10}$ Se$_{15}$ S$_{35}$ thin films by the various applied electric fields. The holographic grating in these thin films has been formed using a linearly polarized He-Ne laser light (633nm). The diffraction efficiency was investigated the two method of applied electric field in the perpendicular and parallel to the direction of inducing beam. We obtained that properties of diffraction efficiency in the two methods of applied electric field. The result is shown that the diffraction efficiency of parallel electric field is 285% increase, η=1.1$\times$10$^{-3}$ and the diffraction efficiency of perpendicular electric field is 80% decrease, η=9.83$\times$10$^{-5}$ . Also, we have investigated the anisotropy property on chalcogenide thin films by the electric field effects.
