title: Complex methylene-blue-sensitized polyvinyl chloride: a polymer matrix for hologram recording.
abstract: A new polymer matrix sensitized with methylene blue for use as an optical recording material is described here. The characterization is done to determine the optimal recording conditions. These films need no chemical development and are found to be stable for several months. The matrix has excellent shelf life and needs an exposure only as short as 20 s. Direct imaging was done on this material.
