摘要
The optical characteristics of two commercially available UV curable epoxy resins are investigated using nondegenerate four-wave mixing. The materials assessed are optimized for use with a UV argon-ion laser. The holographic gratings were written at a wavelength of lambda = 351.1 nm for an irradiance range 0.5 to 3.0 W/cm(2) and read at lambda = 632.8 nm to compare the reactivity, curing speed, shrinkage, and resolution of the resins. These experiments were carried out to prove the suitability of the photopolymerization systems for microstereolithography. (C) 1998 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
