The theoretical development of dynamic holographic gratings with piezo
electric crystals is presented. A thin layer of photoresist is applied
over the surface of the piezoelectric crystal. A holographic grating
was recorded over the photoresist-piezo device in such a way that when
it is activated the changes in its dimensions produce a geometrical c
hange in the grooves of the grating. Hence the initial diffraction pat
tern created may be dynamically modified.
