Abstract

A possibility of image recording as a distribution of intrinsic concentration heterogeneities in a photopolymerizable composition was investigated. A diffusion model for process of such heterogeneities self-formation in the PPC was suggested. Both, the process of composition polymerization and nonlinear refraction of influencing radiation were established to accompany the increasing of these heterogeneities amplitude by several orders. At that, their characteristic size, determined by non-stationary diffusion, depends on the intensity of the influencing radiation and varies in the range from some microns up to hundreds of microns. Evolution dynamics of the spatial spectrums of the PPC intrinsic heterogeneities and their dependence on the recording radiation intensity are investigated. Optical schemes for creating and projecting of such polymeric scattering filters are represented.
