We report on a self-organized striped pattern of refractive indices in a photopolymer and the resulting angular dependence in the transmittance as a result of the microstructure. The photopolymer plates were obtained by photoreaction of a monomer mixture placed in a space between two glass plates. The monomer mixture was prepared by mixing bifunctional methacrylate monomer, cyanoethylmethacrylate, and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenylphosphine oxide as photoinitiator, After the photoreaction by uniform irradiation of UV light, the self-organized striped pattern was observed in the crosslinked photopolymer plate by optical microscopy. Electron probe microanalysis of the cross section of the polymer plate confirms that a compositional inhomogeneity in the medium is quite small. The result suggests that the optically observed striped pattern is not due to the compositional and/or density modulation through the diffusion of monomers. We attribute the striped pattern to the crosslink density modulation and the resulting refractive-index modulation.
