Holographic photopolymerization is a flexible, simple, one-step technique to create defect-free, sub-micrometer patterns of particles over large dimensions. These permanent structures can be formed in a matter of seconds. The resulting Bragg gratings exhibit substantial diffraction efficiencies. The Figure shows a cross-sectional fracture surface of a transmission grating formed using clay powder.
