Modeling the Diffraction Efficiency of Reflective-Type PQ-PMMA VBG Using Simplified Rate Equations

A simulation based on the rate equations was performed to analyze the concentration distribution of molecules in phenanthrenequinone (PQ) doped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymers (PQ-PMMAs) exposed using a two-beam interference configuration. The concentration distributions were used to predict...
