The enhancement coefficient with recording time was estimated. The best enhancement effect was obtained at 10-s recording upon microphase separation. By precisely adjusting the recording time, the DE can be finely controlled from 0.13% to 10% (Yu et al., 2005b). All the movements in the grating formation and enhancement are summarized in Table 12.2.
