Abstract

We present two types of polarizing holographic optical elements recorded in Du Pont's Omnidex film (reflection holograms). The first one takes benefit of the dry development process in order to respect the grating geometry associated with polarization properties. Thanks to that, we realized polarizing beam splitter with high diffraction efficiency and high polarization ratio. The second type of polarizer is an original polarizing mirror that is based on the polarization dependency of spectral and angular selectivities. The high index modulation of that polymer allows to record new holographic polarizers. Details about theoretical basis and experimental realization are given.
