Holographic Recording in the Thermoplastic Mediums with Organic Dyes of Different Polarity

Abstract

Comparative analysis of the holographic recording mediums based on films of poly-N-epoxypropylcarbazole doped with ionic, merocyanin and intra-ionic organic dyes is carried out. Electric- and photo-conductivity of these film are investigated. A possibility of using merocyanin and intra-ionic dyes as effective sensitizers of the recording mediums for one- and multi-exposition holographic recording is shown.
