Modified monomer diffusion model for volume holographic grating formation in photopolymers

Abstract

Monomer diffusion models are important in describing the formation mechanism of the volume holographic grating in photopolymers. The most representative of these models is the first-order diffusion model, which neglects the influence of the exposure intensity threshold and dissolved oxygen in a polymer. This model causes a significant deviation between the theoretical simulation and the experimental results. Therefore, we propose a modified monomer diffusion model, which is more consistent with experimental results on refractive index modulation than other models.
