    Abstract

    Strong polarization-conserving holographic scattering was observed in a photopolymer-dispersed liquid crystal film fabricated from the UV curable mixture of commercially available constituents. During the photopolymerization process a bright corona of diffracted light evolves around the pump beam. The intensity of the rotationally symmetric light distribution increases upon exposure. By rotating the sample, two characteristic diffraction rings appear which can be explained by the Ewald sphere construction. Our results demonstrate that the associated parasitic holograms are very pronounced. Hence, their presence must be accounted for whenever preparing and utilizing holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals in any application.
