Rational design of photopolymer materials for holographic data storage

We apply this general approach to a novel high-performance two-chemistry photopolymer. After independently obtaining all model parameters, we validate the entire model by testing it in different regimes. First, we study the effect of monomer species and loading on M/# to test the capability of the model, derived only from weak consumption measurements, to the complete consumption of monomer. Second, we study the index profile of very large (~50 micron) features. This large scale mixes the time scales of diffusion and polymerization, leading to strong coupling; thus, it serves as a rigorous test of the model (fig. 2).
