Modulation transfer function measurements for thin layers of azo dyes in PVA matrix used as an optical recording material.
Diffraction efficiencies and characteristic erasure times were measured for two recording materials suitable for real-time holography and four-wave mixing. A study of real-time transmission volume grating formation was done in conjunction with polarization states of the writing beams for 30-microm thick layers. Modulation transfer function curves presented were obtained using a versatile device for which the spatial frequency domain was 500-4000 cycles/mm.
