The holographic performance of photo-polymeric material PQ/PMMA is found to be largely determined by pre-polymerization modulation, such as stirring time and pre-polymerization temperature, during the material preparation process. In the current study, in order to determine the best stirring time during the pre-polymerization process, the influence of stirring time on the holographic properties of PQ/PMMA here is seriously analyzed. Experimental observations clearly indicate that, under the same baking conditions, the diffraction efficiency of PQ/PMMA increase initially with the stirring time but then decrease as the stirring time continue increases. When the stirring time is 75 min, the holographic performance of PQ/PMMA reaches its best in which the diffraction efficiency of the material can reach up to 49.3%. Current study here determines the optimal stirring time and pre-polymerization temperature during the pre-polymerization process, thus provide an effective guidance for further preparation of PQ/PMMA photo-polymer materials with excellent holographic properties.
The concentration of photosen-sitizer is an important factor affecting the properties of holographic materials. Most researchers use doping or copolymerization methods to increase the saturation dissolvability of photo-sensitizer. However, the addition of multiple components will reduce the molecular mass of the photoproducts and the polymer substrate, resulting in poor stability of the grating. In this paper, we studied the solubility of phenanthraquinone (PQ) in MMA at different temperatures. At 60 °C, the solubility of PQ could reach 1.8%. Meanwhile, we found that the thermo-initiator concentration of 2,2-Azobis(AIBN) affected long-chain carbon polymerization. Therefore, proper concentration balance has a huge impact on the performance of the materials. Finally, we obtained a relatively suitable concentration balance of PQ/PMMA photopolymer, making it more suitable for volume holographic data storage.
This paper focuses on the causes of bubbles in the fabrication of holographic storage materials phenan- threnequinone(PQ)/polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA).Three main possibilities for generating bubbles are proposed.Azodiisobutyronitrile(AIBN) decomposes to generate nitrogen,which cannot diffuse to generate bubbles.The temperature is too high,and the local boiling of methyl methacrylate(MMA) produces bub- bles.Bubbles caused by changes in material volume.Simulation and experimental verification of the three cases show that the main reason for the generation of bubbles is the sudden shrinkage of the material.It is determined that the temperature is the second in uencing factor.
