Abstract: Holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (HPDLCs) are the result of the optimization of the photopolymer fabrication techniques. They are made by recording in a photopolymerization induced phase separation process (PIPS) in which the liquid crystal molecules diffuse to dark zones in the diffraction grating originated. Thanks to the addition of liquid crystal molecules to the composition, this material has a dynamic behavior by reorientation of the liquid crystal molecules applying an electrical field. In this sense, it is possible to use this material to make dynamic devices. In this work, we study the behavior of this material working in low frequencies with different spatial periods of blazed gratings, a sharp profile whose recording is possible thanks to the addition of a Holoeye LCoS-Pluto spatial light modulator with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels (HD) and a pixel size of 8 × 8 μm2. This device allows us to have an accurate and dynamic control of the phase and amplitude of the recording beam.
