We report on an experimental investigation of recording a plane-wave volume holographic transmission grating in a photopolymerizable nanoparticle-polymer composite film dispersed with hyperbranched-polymer (HBP) organic nanoparticles in an acrylate monomer blend codoped with an electron donor and acceptor photoinitiator/inhibitor system. The HBP organic nanoparticle possesses the ultrahigh refractive index of 1.82 at 532 nm owing to the inclusion of triazine and aromatic ring units, which provides a large difference in the refractive index between HBP and the formed polymer. It is found that the recorded NPC grating with 23 vol.% HBP dispersion possesses the saturated refractive index modulation amplitude as large as 4.5 x 10-2 at 532 nm and at recording intensities of a few mW/cm2. Obtained results suggest the use of our newly developed HBP-dispersed NPC as volume optical holographic elements for wearable display for augmented and mixed reality.
