Abstract:
A new variant of processing photographic plates for holography based on dichromed gelatin PFG-04 (produced by JSC “Slavich Company”, Pereslavl-Zalessky) for the manufacture of high-frequency relief–phase holographic gratings with a spatial frequency up to 1500 mm$^{-1}$ is proposed. The technology is based on the selective destructive effect of short-wave UV radiation on gelatin and subsequent etching of the layer with various reagents. For the first time, relief-phase high-frequency holographic gratings with a maximum diffraction efficiency of 67% were obtained on PFG-04 photographic plates.
