Abstract
Microholograms significantly smaller than the diffraction limit are demonstrated in a photopolymer system with uniformly distributed inhibitor. This subdiffraction performance affords both increased storage density and increased readout signal via suppression of out-of-focus exposure. A model of the micron-scale reaction kinetics of the system is presented, and parameter values are derived experimentally.
