Holographic optics in polymer

From the beginning of holography, this new scientific understanding of the processing of optical information permitted to record and replay phase and amplitude of signals recorded on a photographic plates. With time, numerous authors did find in holographic technique, a way to fabricate optical systems which will replace conventional glass made optical elements. In this paper, an overview of the possibilities offered by holographic technique to make any kind of optical elements is presented. The review is brief, probably incomplete but it will give the important aspects and references to permit to the reader to find all required information into the open literature.
