| Research Abstract |
We presented a novel concept for vector holograms called three-dimensional vector holograms. The three-dimensional vector holograms were recorded in photoreactive liquid crystalline materials with initial alignment. By considering an effect that the propagation velocity of light in anisotropic media depends on the polarization state, we induced higher-order molecular reorientation with periodicity, and observed their optical properties. As a result, it was demonstrated that the three-dimensional vector holograms exhibit many interesting features.
