Abstrakt

We discuss the applicability of holographically patterned polymers, polymer dispersed liquid crystals, and nano-particle-polymer composites as optical elements for cold neutrons. Requirements concerning the spacing, thickness or strength of the grating for certain types of neutron optical elements, e.g., 2-port or 3-port beamsplitters, are discussed in the framework of a rigorous coupled-wave analysis. Finally, a roadmap to neutron mirrors, e.g., for interferometers, is drawn.
