M. Mitkova et al., PHOTOINDUCED CHANGES BY POLARIZATION HOLOGRAPHIC RECORDING IN SE70AG15I15 THIN-FILMS, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 166, 1993, pp. 1203-1206
The possibility of using Se70Ag15I15 films as a medium for polarisatio
n holographic recording is investigated for the first time. The condit
ions for producing polarisation beam splitter are optimized in terms o
f the intensity and temperature dependence of the diffraction efficien
cy. The mechanism of the processes is discussed on the basis of the ex
perimental data, the phenomena being related to Weigert effect in silv
er halide systems, and photoinduced defects in chalcogenide systems.
