Strategy for Simple Control of High Performance PQ/PMMA Holographic Media

Holographic data storage technology is a cost-effective solution for long-term archival data storage. However, the development of suitable holographic recording materials remains a challenge. Among these materials, phenanthraquinone-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PQ/PMMA) stands out due to its low cost and controllable thickness. Nevertheless, its limited photosensitivity and diffraction efficiency hinder its widespread application. In order to solve these problems, we put forward a kind of convenient and simple, low cost strategy, by adding plasticizer
