“…Because of their optically active properties, polarization holographic gratings are promising in the production of high-function optical devices such as lights modulators, valves, polarization multiplexers and demultiplexers, polarized radiation splitters (Bunning et al, 2000;Cipparrone et al, 2000;Cipparrone et al, 2001a;Habraken et al, 1995;Ono et al, 2005;Wu et al, 2001;Yu et al, 2002). Such gratings are recorded on polarization-sensitive materials: photo-refractive crystals (Sturman et al, 1996), «guest-host» systems (Khoo, 1991;Slussarenko et al, 1997;Nikolova & Todorov, 1984), azopolymers (Naydenova et al, 1998;Labarthet & Rochon, 1999).…”
