Abstract
We optically switched the diffraction efficiency of volume holographic elements recorded in DMP-128 photopolymer by use of a thermal nonline arity of the liquid crystal 5CB. The Liquid crystal was incorporated i nto the volume grating. The diffraction efficiency of small areas of t he grating was switched with a control beam power of several milliwatt s. The intensity of a signal beam at a different wavelength and arbitr ary power was switched with time constants below 1 ms.
