Abstract

Summary: The image forming process in photopolymer holographic film has been studied thoroughly. Many grow-curves, i.e. the curves describing the time dependence of the image grow, have been obtained by the special equipment (described in1) under varying conditions. The varying concerns both the changes in film composition and exposition. The S-type form of the measured grow curves bring out some problem in interpreting them in the framework of the usual diffusion theories of photopolymer image growth. To overcome the problem we add the idea that polymer loses its mobility as it grows to the usual only diffusion theories and put down the more general immobilization-diffusion theory.2
