Abstract: (Siloxane and mesogen)-containing compounds were found effective in the formation of holographic gratings, over a wide concentration range from 3 wt% to 30 wt%. A fine grating with 40% diffractive efficiency was formed with 10 wt% 1-(4′-methoxyphenyloxycarbonylphenoxy)butyl-1,1,3,3,3-pentamethyldisiloxane. The diffraction efficiency and angle selectivity of the grating were also significantly affected by the structure of siloxane chain. 3-(4′-Methoxyphenyloxycarbonylphenoxy)butyl-1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane gave high (approx. 90%) diffraction efficiency and showed very narrow angular selectivity of about 5°.
