Abstract

The present work explores the holographic performance of developed eosin sensitized Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Acrylamide based photopolymer material (EPVA) by hologram recording. The developed material can be used to record gratings with diffraction efficiency (DE) of 85% using 488 nm and 77% using 532 nm at exposure of 50 mJ/cm2. Recorded Fourier Transform (FT) holograms and Projection type holograms showed the potential of this material for different holographic applications.
