Abstract

A technique and the materials required for making laser glass are described. The technique includes cleaning glass plates, coating UV photopolymer materials onto the glass plates, attaching a master hologram to the plates, using exposure to UV light to cure the coating, screen printing, vacuum film depositing, and covering the plates with a protective coating. The UV photopolymer material is composed of a photoinitiator, a monomer, an oligomer, and other additives. The experimental results show that the laser-glass products have a high resistance to alkali, acid, heating, and UV irradiation.
