Abstract

Holographic photopolymers can be used for two breakthrough applications, biosensing, and efficient energy. Related to biosensing a real challenge is to store time-stable holographic gratings in hydrogel matrices immersed in aqueous media. The storage of unslanted transmission holograms in hydrogels is the main objective of this work. The optimization of the washing steps using PBST and DMSO:H2O as solvents has been studied. Obtaining an adaptable holographic element to concentrate the sunlight avoiding the need for expensive tracking systems is the another goal of this study. The efficient energy study consists in recording a multiplexed holographic lens with low frequency (545 lines/mm) in a low-toxicity photopolymer to focus the sunlight from sunrise to sunset. The efficiency has been evaluated by measuring the short circuit current (Isc) at different incident angles under solar illumination and we obtained wide acceptance angle systems. This study reaches the trade-off between a high incident acceptance angle and good efficiency.

Abstract

The storage of time-stable holographic gratings in photohydrogels when the material is immersed in liquid media represents a great challenge at present. A very important stage in the process of storing holograms in photohydrogels are the washing stages to eliminate the remains of the components that have not reacted in the photochemical reaction. The main goal of this work is focusing on the study of the optimization of the washing stages of the photohydrogels based on acrylamide and N,N’-methylenebis(acrylamide) once unslanted transmission holograms have been stored. For the purpose of determining the compositions of the wash solutions, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and UV-visible measurements have been employed in our system. PBST and DMSO:H2O 6:4 (v/v) are used as solvents in the washing stages. The diffraction efficiencies are measured during the washing stages and after the storing of the holograms during several days in PBST. Maximum diffraction efficiencies of 38.0 and 27.6% are reached when PBST and DMSO:H2O 6:4 are employed, respectively.

Abstract

Nowadays, the study and optimization of volume holography reflection gratings stored in environmentally compatible photopolymers has a great interest since they can be used as holographic optical elements. One of the main advantages of reflection holograms is that they can be reconstructed using white light. This allows to develop holographic sensors. Unslanted reflection holograms have been stored in an acrylate-poly(vinyl alcohol) based photopolymer development in our research group. With the main objective of increasing the diffraction effciency of reflection holograms, a series of chemical modifcations have been introduced in the same acrylated-based photopolymer. Specifcally, this material has been doped with Platinum nanoparticles (Pt-NP), increasing the refractive index modulation in the recorded diffraction gratings.

Abstract

The storage of time-stable holographic gratings in hydrogel matrices when the material is immersed in aqueous media is a real challenge at present. The optimization of the storage stages of the holograms must be properly investigated to identify the most suitable development processes. For this reason, this work is focused on the study of the optimization of the washing stages of the hydrogels based on acrylamide and N,N’-methylenebis(acrylamide) once unslanted transmission holograms have been stored. High-performance liquid chromatography and UV-visible measurements have been employed in our system to analyze the composition of the washing solutions. PBST and DMSO:H2O are used as solvents in the washing stages. The diffraction efficiencies are measured during the washing stages and after the storing of the holograms during several days in PBST. Maximum diffraction efficiencies of 38 and 27.6% are reached when PBST and DMSO:H2O are employed, respectively, for the washing process. Holograms show temporal stability after being stored immersed in PBST at 4 °C for 4 days.

Abstract

The study of the optical properties and behaviour of holograms stored in hydrogel matrices when the material is immersed in liquid medium represent a very important challenge currently. Hydrogels are 3D polymer networks capable of undergoing reversible volume changes. These hydrogels can be chemically modified to obtain materials with different properties such as to be sensitive to a range of relevant analytes. Emergent applications require that the holograms stored in hydrogels be time-stable in a liquid medium. One of the most important applications of this type of system are holographic sensors. Holographic sensors have advantages over other types of sensors such as the possibility of miniaturization due to the use of holographic techniques, the ability to produce three-dimensional images, real-time quantification, possibility of low-cost mass manufacturing and label-free analyte- responsive. Due to these advantages, these sensors have great potential to be used in different areas such as environmental detection, veterinary testing, pharmaceutical bioassays and medical diagnosis. Therefore, the optical behaviour of the holograms and the optimization of the hydrogel’s matrices must be well studied. When volume phase holograms are stored in hydrogels matrices in liquid medium, the holographic planes can undergo a bending process that give rise to asymmetries in the lateral lobes around the Bragg angle. This bending affect to the diffraction efficiency, wavelength of maximum diffraction efficiency and the angular sensibility. These parameters are used as signal transducers in holographic sensors in transmission mode. The general aim of this work has been study the bending that is produced in the holographic planes when unslanted transmission volume phase holographic grating with a frequency of 1200 lines/mm have been stored in hydrogel matrices based on acrylamide (AA) and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) using different solvents (dimethyl sulfoxide, water and buff

Abstract

Holographic Lenses (HLs) are holograms obtained from the interference of an object point (object beam) and a plane beam (reference beam). Unlike conventional refractive lenses (RLs), their physical principle is diffraction, and in addition to spectral dependence, they also exhibit angular dependence. One of the main applications of such HLs is their use in AR optical systems such as head mounted displays (HMD). HLs also exhibit aberrations. To measure the impact of these aberrations, diffraction efficiency is not a suitable optical parameter. For this purpose, different quality metrics can be used. In this work, the quality of positive symmetrical and negative asymmetrical HLs has been evaluated by studying different metrics: optical quality metrics (Zernike and Seidel coefficients, RMS for Zernike and Seidel aberrations, and critical pupil fraction (PF); and image quality metrics based on the impulse response of the system (Strehl Ratio (SR), Entropy and cut-off frequency).

Abstract

In this work it is shown the first characterization of holographic solar concentrators recorded in Biophotopol - one of the greenest photopolymers. Biophotopol is an acrylate-based and water-soluble photopolymer with good recycling properties. The composition of this photopolymer and their thickness are easily changeable, which implies an important advantage vs. others commercialized photopolymers. Good diffraction efficiency and wide acceptance angles are achieved on phase volume transmission holograms by using an optimized composition and thin layers. A curing stage with a white incoherent light has been performed to obtain high temporal stability together with a good diffraction efficiency. Finally, the performance of the holographic lenses as holographic solar concentrators has been evaluated with an electronic setup connected to a polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell and a high intensity solar simulator emitting a standard solar spectrum (AM1.5G).
