As a further development of the manufacture of holographic gratings by the diffusion of phenanthrenequinone in polymer glass, the traditionally employed poly(methyl methacrylate) is replaced by poly(bisphenol-A-carbonate). The post-exposure growth and decay of the gratings in the two materials are compared at different spatial periods and temperatures. The medium with polycarbonate demonstrates a fortunate combination of significantly improved stability of the gratings and their faster development. Our results indicate that the polycarbonate materials promise to be suitable media for holographic optical elements and data storage.
