研究目的
To predict the diffraction efficiency of reflective-type PQ-PMMA volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) using a simplified rate equation model with diffusion, and to validate this model through experiments, including the proposal of an intermittent exposure method to enhance diffraction efficiency.
研究成果
The simplified rate equation model successfully predicts the diffraction efficiency of reflective-type PQ-PMMA VBGs with an error within ±3% under specified conditions. Diffusion of PQ molecules is identified as a key factor influencing efficiency, and the intermittent exposure method is validated as an effective way to enhance diffraction efficiency by promoting diffusion while reducing environmental perturbations.
研究不足
The model's accuracy is limited to exposure energies less than 110 J/cm2 and intensities between 60–350 mW/cm2, with discrepancies observed at longer exposure times due to non-ideal effects like noise grating, scattering, and thermal effects. The intermittent exposure method shows mismatches in simulation during writing and developing periods, potentially due to thermal effects.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a simulation based on simplified chemical rate equations with diffusion to model the concentration distributions of PQ and photoproduct P in PQ-PMMA samples under two-beam interference exposure. The transfer matrix method is employed to calculate diffraction efficiency from the refractive index distribution derived from these concentrations.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
PQ-PMMA samples are prepared with specific weight percentages (0.7 wt.% PQ, 89.3 wt.% PMMA, 10 wt.% MMA), 2 mm thick, and used in homemade cells. Data is collected from experiments involving exposure to 532 nm light and monitoring with a 650 nm laser.
3：7 wt.% PQ, 3 wt.% PMMA, 10 wt.% MMA), 2 mm thick, and used in homemade cells. Data is collected from experiments involving exposure to 532 nm light and monitoring with a 650 nm laser.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment includes a two-beam interference setup with BK7 prisms, silicone oil for index matching, lasers at 532 nm and 650 nm wavelengths. Materials include PQ-PMMA samples, BK7 prisms, silicone oil.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples are exposed to interference patterns with varying intensities (I0 from 60 to 350 mW/cm2) and periods (e.g., 354 nm). Diffraction efficiency is monitored in real-time during exposure and dark reaction periods. Parameters like diffusion coefficient DPQ and rate coefficient kp are determined by fitting experimental data.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data is analyzed using Fourier decomposition for concentration amplitudes, exponential fitting for diffusion effects, and comparison between simulated and experimental diffraction efficiencies to validate the model.
