Abstract
We propose a novel gold nanosphere doped photopolymer for volume holography. Nanospheres with the diameter of 6-8 nm are evenly dispersed inside a thick photopolymer with thermo-polymerization method. The holographic properties can be greatly enhanced during the two-beam holographic exposure with the doping of the gold nanospheres. Both the photophysical and photochemical mechanism of the gold nanosphere doped photopolymer are analyzed and discussed during holographic grating formation. The applications of the photopolymer for volume holographic recording and reconstruction systems are also experimentally demonstrated.
