Holography is now firmly established as a tool for scientific and engineering studies and also as a display medium. Holographic performance mainly depends on the choice of recording wavelengths, recording material, recording conditions and experimental setup as well as environmental conditions in the laboratory. Acrylamide based photopolymer has significant advantages as a holographic recording material such as self-development, low scatter, high diffraction efficiency, ease of preparation and low cost. The main objective of this project is to determine and minimise the shrinkage of an acrylamide based photopolymer developed in the Centre for Industrial and Engineering Optics for holographic recording. This …

Abstract: Solar concentrators can be used to reduce the cost of photovoltaic electrical power generation by collecting incident solar radiation from a given aperture area and transmitting the energy to a reduced area. In doing so, the overall cost of power (Wp) can be reduced as less area of photovoltaic is required. This paper will discuss Holographic Solar Concentrators fabricated in an acrylamide photopolymer , describing the optical recording process and showing how the fabricated HOE’s can be used in solar concentrator devices. Preliminary lifetime studies are also discussed.
