The　influence　of　the　pulse　repetition　frequency　and　average　writing　intensity　on　volume　holograms　recorded　in　photopolymer　films　was　studied.　A　pulsed　diode-pumped　YAG　laser　(532-nm　wavelength)　was　used　as　recording　light　source.　Volume　holograms　were　recorded　with　different　pulse　repetition　frequencies　under　the　same　average　writing　intensity,　and　different　average　intensities　at　the　same　repetition　frequency.　The　diffraction　efficiencies　were　measured　real-time　during　the　holographic　grating　formation.　Experimental　results　showed　that　the　lower　repetition　frequency　and　writing　intensity　resulted　in　higher　diffraction　efficiency.　This　suggests　the　optimization　method　of　recording　conditions　for　holographic　recording　in　photopolymers　using　pulsed　laser　sources.
