Background:

Traditional photopolymer systems for holographic devices often rely on single monomers and density modulation.
Existing methods have limitations in achieving high refractive index modulation and resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop novel photopolymer systems for fabricating high-resolution volume phase holograms and grating devices.
To investigate the advantages of using component mixtures with differing reactivities and polarizabilities.

Main Methods:

Utilized a mixture of monomers with distinct reactivities and polarizabilities.
Exploited two-way diffusion during image-forming exposure to create composition modulation.
Employed an over-all exposure to fix the recorded images.

Main Results:

Achieved peak-to-peak refractive index differentials as high as 1.5%, significantly exceeding previous reports.
Demonstrated the ability to create gratings with >3000 lines/mm inside hollow fibers.
Observed expected band-stop filter response for white light in fabricated devices.

Conclusions:

Mixtures of components with differing reactivities and polarizabilities offer an advantageous approach for photopolymer holography.
The developed systems enable the fabrication of high-resolution grating devices with superior refractive index modulation.
This technique is suitable for creating advanced optical components, including those within micro-cavities.
