Paper Abstract
The principles for the realization of rewritable point-diffraction interferometers (PDIs) based on photochromic
polyurethane films are described. Pinholes of variable sizes (diameter from 4 to 40 μm) have been optically written onto
photochromic substrates converting locally the material from the colored to the uncolored form. The PDIs have been
mounted in an interferometric setup and different reflective optics have been tested. By a controlled bleaching of the
semi-transparent area around the pinhole, an optimal visibility in the interferograms is reached. Under this conditions
several tests of reliability of the interferometer have been carried out.
