Abstract

Image transfer properties of interferometrically produced dielectric light guides are investigated. A general technique of analysis is developed. Computer calculations based on this approach are used to study the behavior of pulses traversing the guiding structures for various values of refractive index. Experimental results are obtained using photosensitized polymethyl methacrylate as the recording material. Computer results are compared with existing theory and found to be in close agreement.
