Rb. Andreev et al., HOLOGRAPHIC OPTICAL-ELEMENTS ON METALLIC MIRROR SUBSTRATES FOR ADAPTIVE LASER SYSTEMS, Journal of optical technology, 64(4), 1997, pp. 351-354
A technique is proposed for recording holographic optical elements (HO
Es) on metallic mirror substrates. An analysis is given of the conditi
ons for recording them, for forming and coating photosensitive materia
ls on these surfaces; and for protecting them from chemically aggressi
ve processing of the photographic layers. The methods developed here h
ave been used to obtain experimental samples of HOEs on copper substra
tes for adaptive laser systems. (C) 1997 The Optical Society of Americ
