Abstract

Summary form only given. Polymer-based holographic recording materials are promising media for data storage applications. Among these, poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)-based materials have a long history. We present new results with one such material, consisting of PMMA with phenanthrenequinone (PQ) molecules. Specifically, the suitability of this material for holographic data storage will be discussed, as well as characterization of a novel optically induced birefringence.
