Abstract

The advances in the sol-gel holographic recording materials, namely in the photopolymerizable compositions and photorefractive glasses, are reviewed. A new sol-gel holographic material is also discussed that exploits diffusion of a high-refractive-index MA:Zr complex, with the refractive index modulation of n ∼ 10−2 and negligible scattering.
