Multiple patterning of holographic photopolymers for increased refractive index contrast
Abstract:
We demonstrate that multiple exposures of a two-component holographic photopolymer can quadruple the refractive index contrast of the material beyond the single-exposure saturation limit. Quantitative phase microscopy of isolated structures written by laser direct-write lithography is used to characterize the process. This technique reveals that multiple exposures are made possible by diffusion of the chemical components consumed during writing into the previously exposed regions. The ultimate index contrast is shown to be limited by the solubility of fresh components into the multiply exposed region.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
