During white-light exposure, the region outside of the hologram polymerized to form a random-phase segregated morphology referred to as the floodlit region. Film thickness was controlled by the addition of 10 lm diameter glass rods to the pre-polymer syrup. The diffraction efficiency of the grating was determined through the ratio of the intensity of diffracted light to incident light using a He-Ne (632 nm) laser. SEM images were collected with a Hitachi 900S operating at 1 keV. The PM597 was excited with the doubled output (532 nm) of a Nd:YAG that had a repetition rate of 10 Hz and pulse duration of 5-8 ns. Photoluminescence (PL) was collected perpendicular to the cell with an Ocean Optics CCD/spectrometer that had a resolution of 1.9 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
