Abstract
Abstract A holographic recording medium comprising a conductive substrate, a photoconductive layer and an electrically alterable layer of a linear, low molecular weight hydrocarbon polymer has improved fatigue resistance. An acrylic barrier layer can be interposed between the photoconductive and electrically alterable layers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A medium for recording and erasing phase holograms in the form of a surface relief pattern consisting essentially of in sequence an electrically conductive substrate, a photoconductive insulating layer, a transparent, polar, barrier layer, and an electrically alterable storage layer consisting essentially of a linear, microcrystalline hydrocarbon polymer having a molecular weight in the range from about 300 to about 2000.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
61 words
A medium for recording and erasing phase holograms in the form of a surface relief pattern consisting essentially of in sequence an electrically conductive substrate, a photoconductive insulating layer, a transparent, polar, barrier layer, and an electrically alterable storage layer consisting essentially of a linear, microcrystalline hydrocarbon polymer having a molecular weight in the range from about 300 to about 2000.
