The coupling between a holographic resin, combining multiple monomers and additives, with photoinitiating systems (PIS) is not straightforward. In this paper, a classic PIS based on Safranine O ([SFH.sup.+]) as dye, an amine (ethyl-4-(dimethylamino) benzoate) as electron donor, and a triazine derivative (2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine) as electron acceptor for holographic recording was studied using time-resolved spectroscopic experiments. By taking into account the viscosity of the matrix, a method to evaluate the overall quantum yield of radicals released is proposed and the contribution of singlet and triplet excited states of [SFH.sup.+] in the formation of radicals is evaluated. Then the corresponding photopolymerization efficiencies of the PIS, studied by real-time FTIR, are compared with holographic recording experiments: this system allows the formation of a hologram with high diffraction efficiency (0.9) in 3 s of irradiation time. It is shown that besides holographic resin formulation, the photochemistry of PIS also impacts the hologram formation. Key words: photoinitiating system, laser spectroscopy, photopolymerization, holographic recording. Il n'est pas facile d'effectuer le couplage entre une resine holographique, combinant plusieurs monomeres et additifs, et des systemes de photoamorcage. Dans le present article, nous avons etudie un systeme de photoamorcage a base de Safranine O ([SFH.sup.+]) comme colorant, une amine (ethyl-4-(dimethylamino)benzoate) comme electrodonneur et un derive de triazine (2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine) comme electroaccepteur pour effectuer l'enregistrement holographique au moyen d'experiences spectroscopiques a resolution temporelle. En tenant compte de la viscosite de la matrice, nous avons propose une methode d'evaluation du rendement quantique global des radicaux formes et evalue la contribution des etats excites singulet et triplet de la [SFH.sup.+] dans la formation des radicaux. Par la suite, nous avons compare les efficiences de photopolymerisation du systeme de photoamorcage, etudiees par FTIR en temps reel, aux experiences d'enregistrement holographique correspondantes. Les resultats montrent que le systeme permet la formation d'hologrammes avec une efficience de diffraction elevee (0,9) en une periode d'irradiation de trois secondes. En plus de l'effet de la formulation des resines holographiques, nous montrons que la photochimie des systemes de photoamorcage a aussi un effet sur la formation des hologrammes.
