Techniques disclosed herein relate to optical devices. Resins with different optical properties can be deposited in different areas to provide increased optical functionality. It can be difficult to design a single photopolymer material that meets several technical requirements. Different resins can be deposited on the same substrate to make a single film with spatially varying properties. Different resins can also be applied to different substrates in a stack. By using different resins, an optical component can be made that meets several technical requirements.

This application provides a composition for a holographic recording medium and a holographic recording medium using the composition for a holographic recording medium. In this application, a substrate film-forming substance contained in the composition for a holographic recording medium is structurally designed, and a refractive index of a substrate is reduced to enhance an overall refractive index difference, so that a high-performance VHG is prepared.
