High-sensitivity and high-resolution photothermoplastic material for recording of semitone images and holograms by independent registrators

A new reversive high-sensitivity and high-resolution phase recording materi al on the base of photothermoplastic effect is created for recording of sem itone images and holograms. The material is characterized by the sensitivit y in the visible spectral region comparable with the sensitivity of silver halide materials of higher resolution. It can be developed by the dry metho d, has high radiation stability, and is promising for the use in automated registrators operating in real time.
