We have developed a photochromic polymer film for the use of real-time dynamic hologram, fabricated by the plasticized polymer doped with the fast photochromic molecule. The addition of a plasticizer into the conventional polymer is proved to be effective to improve the photochromic performances for the polymer film doped with the fast photochromic molecule that shows instantaneous coloration upon exposure to UV light and rapid fading in the dark. The plasticized photochromic polymers enable the real-time control of the writing and erasing of a holographic grating and show a higher recording sensitivity compared with other organic holographic materials.
