Claims
- 1. A relatively thin member of 2 to 20 microns thick for use as a volume type phase hologram for coherent optical processing adapted to provide enhanced diffraction efficiency, higher resolving power, and, stability against moisture and light consisting essentially of: a crosslinkable composition of:
- (a) a polymer containing in its unit structure an aromatic or heterocyclic ring having therein a reactive position capable of being substituted by a radical and;
- (b) 0.1 to 200 percent by weight based on the weight of the polymer of a halogen-containing compound for generating radicals when activated by radiation rays having at least one carbon to which two or more halogen atoms are attached, said radicals causing a cross-linking reaction involving said polymer to provide a cross-linked product in response to exposure to said radiation rays, said cross-linked product being responsive to the swelling effect of a first solvent and the shrinking effect of a second solvent, and said halogen containing compound being adapted to be dissolved by said first solvent.
- 2. A member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said aromatic ring is a benzene ring.
- 3. A member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heterocyclic ring is selected from the group consisting of furan ring, thiophene ring, pyrrole ring, pyrollidone ring, oxazole ring, thiazole ring, imidazole ring, pyrazole ring, pyridine ring, pyrimidine ring, triazole ring, oxazine ring, triazine ring, pyrazine ring, tetrazole ring, thiazine ring, and pyridazine ring.
- 4. A member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said aromatic ring is a carbozole ring.
- 5. A member as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amount of said halogen containing compound is from 0.5 to 50 percent by weight based on the weight of said polymer.
- 6. A member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said halogen containing compound is an iodine containing compound.
- 7. A relatively thin member of 2 to 20 microns thick for use as a volume type phase hologram for coherent optical process adapted to provide enhanced diffraction efficiency, higher resolving power, and stability against moisture and light, consisting essentially of: a crosslinkable composition of;
- (a) a polymer containing in its unit structure an aromatic or heterocyclic ring having therein a reactive position capable of being substituted by a radical and;
- (b) 0.1 to 200 percent by weight based on the weight of the polymer of a halogen-containing compound for generating radicals when activated by radiation rays having at least one carbon to which two or more halogen atoms are attached, said radicals causing a cross-linked product in response to exposure to said radiation rays.
