Characterization of Dupont photopolymers in infrared light for free-space optical interconnects

Dupont photopolymer as a potential holographic material for an optical interconnect system was studied. The optimized conditions of recording plane-wave holograms with ∼99% effective diffraction efficiency for infrared reconstruction were obtained by testing different Dupont photopolymers and different copying parameters. The scattering ratios of the holograms recorded with Dupont photopolymers HRF600-10, HRF600-20, and HRF600-38 were measured and compared.
