In the present work, we investigated the holographic grating erasing method by means of the optical method. It was formed the grating under the interference of holographic recording He-Ne laser beams on chalcogenide $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin film with various film thickness and erased the holographic grating by non-polarized He-Ne laser beam. As the results, the recording grating erased the 80 % of formed grating by non-polarized He-Ne laser beam. It was confirmed that the erasing characteristics by non-polarized laser beam need to improve the focusing of beam and the control of beam intensity. And then it can be expected as the application possibility of rewritable holographic memory technology.

Amorphous chalcogenide thin films, especially a-(Se, S) based films, exhibit a number of photo-induced phenomena. In this study, we make the As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35//Ag thin film and then we measure the holographic diffraction efficiency according to thickness of Ag. And we form the two-dimensional holographic grating. At first, we formed one-dimensional grating and then we form two-dimensional grating by rotate the sample. We found out the most suitable thickness of Ag and in case of As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35//Ag(600${\AA}$), the diffraction efficiency was more higher than other samples. The holographic grating was formed by He-Ne laser(λ=632.8nm). The intensity of incident beam was 2.5mW and incident angle was 20$^{\circ}$. We confirm. the two-dimensional holographic grating by the pattern of diffracted beam and AFM(Atomic Force Microscope) image. We perform the etching process using by 0.26N NaOH in order to confirm clearly two-dimensional grating.

There are various holographic recording materials, such as Dichromated Gelatin, Silver Halide, Thermoplastic, Photoresist. In this paper especially, we used Photoresist to make the phase holographic grating. Deep-groove diffractive grating formed in relatively thin holographic recording material is to express high diffraction efficiency. Phase holographic grating recorded In photoresist can be used very practical because it has the high diffraction efficiency, and it is possible to make a replication easily. So, it has the merit in recording the optical holographic grating than any other materials.

This paper discovers that we form holographic grating in AsGeSeS thin film. Holographic grating is not developed in the length of 10,20,40nm, while it is formed in the thin film of 80nm though it shows very low diffraction efficiency. On the contrary, holographic grating is established in every thin film of Ag(10nm)/AsGeSeS(10,20,40,80nm). Lattice in 10,20 nm thin film builds up, and immediately disappears. In the case of 40nm thin film, even if holographic grating is made up, it seems to have a low diffraction efficiency. Apart from 10,20,40nm, it shows the highest diffraction efficiency in the thin film of 80nm.

We prepared the chalcogenide As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35/, Se$\_$75/Ge$\_$25/ thin film. Holographic grating was formed by the He-Ne laser( λ =633 nm). Annealing at 100$^{\circ}C$ and 200$^{\circ}C$ has been used to change the optical property of chalcogenide thin films for holographic grating formation. As the results, large variation of the optical property was generated at the As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35/ chalcogenide film. Diffraction efficiency of the As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35/ film has been enhanced about three times

Amorphous As-Ge-Se-S thin films have been studied with the aim of identifying optimum etching condition which can be used to produce holographic grating structure for use as diffractive optical elements. In this study, holographic gratings have been formed using He-Ne laser(632.8nm), and fabricated by the method of wet etching using NaOH etchant with various concentration(0.26N, 0.33N, 0.40N). The diffraction efficiency was obtained by +1st order intensity of the diffracted beam. The formed grating profiles were observed by atomic force microscope and showed that the expected grating profile could be achieved by controlling the etching time. Over-etching resulted in under-cutting of the grating lines. The highest 1st order diffraction efficiency for these gratings was about 5.05%.

We formed the holographic grating after had formed the 1-dimansional holographic grating and then rotate the sample. We confirmed that 2-dimensional holographic grating result of the figure of diffracted beam and AFM(Atomic Forced Microcopy) image.

In this paper, the demonstration of a 130-channel optical demultiplexer based on the cascaded volume holographic gratings is presented. By serially adding the second holographic grating, which has different grating period, slant angle, and center wavelength compared to those of the first grating, the operating wavelength range of the optical demultiplexer could be expanded, and therefore, the number of channels of the holographic demultiplexer is increased by twice. As a result of the experiment, a 0.4-nm-spaced demultiplexer with the channel uniformity of 3.5 dB, the 3dB-bandwidth of 0.12nm, and the channel crosstalk of -20dB is experimentally achieved.

A surface-normal input/output volume holographic grating coupler (VHGC) operating at 1550nm wavelength region by using a $10{\mu}m$-thick DuPont photopolymer film is designed and fabricated. The angular and wavelength responses of the input/output VHGC are investigated in order to validate applicability of this device in integrated optics and optical communications. The effect of incident-beam position on the output reflectance to determine optimum condition for input coupling is also presented. The fabricated input/output VHGC exhibited an angular selectivity of ${\sim}0.027^{\circ}$, a wavelength selectivity of ~0.8 nm, and an output peak reflectance of 34.13%.
