Abstract
Synchrotron light changes the refractive index of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Refractive-index enhancements as well as reductions depending on dose and energy of the radiation used can be observed. This effect is capable for manufacturing of diffractive-optical components as it is successfully demonstrated by realization of waveguides in PMMA.
