Abstract

The paper presents formation processes and diffraction properties of hybrid periodic structures such as volume gratings with refractive index modulation, on the surface of which relief gratings are formed. It is shown experimentally that relief gratings with significant diffraction properties in used photopolymer materials are formed in a narrow range of exposure parameters. It is established that the formation of a relief grating on the surface of a volume grating leads to significant changes in the selective properties of structures. We also consider possible applications of hybrid structures.
