Abstract: By selecting Methylene blue, Eosin Y and Acridine Orange as red-, green- and blue-sensitive photosensitizers respectively, a water-soluble panchromatic photopolymer is fabricated successfully. This material has high diffraction efficiency (over 90%) and high photosensitivity (~70 mJ/cm2) for three primary color lasers. Angular and wavelength multiplexing holograms are successfully recorded in the same location of the panchromatic photopolymer, the reconstructed multicolor images are clear and bright, and there is no obvious crosstalk between them. The experimental results show that this panchromatic photopolymer material has good holographic recording characteristics and application prospects.

Key words: panchromatic holographic recording material, panchromatic photopolymer, holographic storage, wavelength multiplexing, angular multiplexing
