Organic photoluminescent holograms

We developed a holographic material based on glucose. The material is recorded by its crystalline polymerization when it is radiated with ultraviolet light. Also we doped our holographic material with a colorant (pink Deiman(R)), obtaining a parallel photoluminescence phenomenon. Thus, a diffraction grating generated in a computer is transferred to our material using UV light, and it is reconstructed by a green laser beam. We analyzed the grating efficiency and the photoluminescent light emitted.
