When holograms are recorded with continuous-wave radiation from a CO/sub 2/ laser in Plexiglas, a diffraction efficiency of about 20% may be attained. Results are presented on pulsed IR holograms recorded on films of polyvinyl alcohol. The holograms are recorded with a TEA CO/sub 2/ laser giving a pulse length of 3 musec. The diffraction-efficiency results are given for holographic gratings having a spatial frequency of 50 mm/sup -1/. The IR recording mechanism related to relief change is evidently characteristic of other polymeric recording media.
