Abstract

When irradiated with visible light in HPDLC, photoinitiator and coinitiator produce a radical for photopolymerization. According to the kinds of photoinitiator and coinitiator, quantity and rate of produced a radical is different. It is influence on photopolymerization rate relate on diffraction efficiency. Thus, this paper is about the effect of photoinitiator/coinitiator combinations in terms of diffraction efficiency and real-time first order diffraction efficiency.
