Abstract

Recent investigations have demonstrated the applicability of dichromated gelatin holograms to a number of optical communication, sensor and solar energy applications. This has prompted interest in using these elements in space based optical systems. In order to establish the suitability of using DCG holograms in space based optical systems an investigation was undertaken to determine the effects of simulated space environments on the performance of these elements. Testing was conducted to determine the effects of UV radiation, charged particle radiation and vacuum effects. Further testing established methods of protecting DCG holograms from humidity prior to launch.
