Descripción: In order to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms of hologram formation and higher diffraction efficiencies in volume gratings stored in acrylamide based photopolymers, a crosslinker (N,N'methylene-bis-acrylamide) has been incorporated in the photopolymer to record holograms by pulsed laser exposure. The presence of this component increases the polymerization rate and refractive index modulation. The recording was performed using a holographic copying process. The original was a grating of 1000 lines/mm processed using silver halide sensitized gelatin. First, the effect of the pulse fluence was investigated. When the pulse fluence was optimized, the results obtained using the new composition of material were compared with those using the composition without a crosslinker. Using a pulsed laser at 532 nm the photopolymer without crosslinker presented diffraction efficiencies slightly less than 60%. On the other hand, when the crosslinker was introduced in the photopolymer composition, the diffraction efficiencies achieved were higher than 85%. The non-linearity of the material's response was also studied comparing the energetic sensitivity, diffraction efficiencies and index modulation of gratings recorded with pulsed and continuous laser exposure. This study was performed fitting the angular scan of each grating using Kogelnik's theory.
