Abstract :
Novel process for formation of holographic gratings was introduced by simultaneous photopolymerization and siloxane network. Diffraction efficiency and volume shrinkage of gratings formed with combination of liquid crystal and alkoxysilane derivatives were improved by modifying the chemical structures of alkoxysilane derivatives, and their application was characterized on dense wavelength division multiplexing systems.
