Abstract

Volume polarization holographic recording in phenanthrenequinone-doped poly (methyl methacrylate) photo polymer is obtained. Photoinduced birefringence in a $2\mathrm{mm}$ thick sample is measured by a phase-modulated ellipsometry. The birefringence induced in this material by linearly polarized beam at $514\mathrm{nm}$ reaches $1.2\times {10}^{-5}$. In addition, ability for recording volume polarization grating using two different polarization configurations is demonstrated and compared. The experimental results show that the diffraction efficiency of the hologram reaches to $\sim 40\%$ by using two orthogonal circularly polarized beams.
