We fabricate acrylamide photopolymer as a holographic recording material and investigrate photobleaching characteristics. To explain the photobleaching kinetics of photopolymer we adopt two models of the Beer-Lambert law and optical transmittance based on rate equations obtained from a simplified energy-band model. The Beer-Lambert law is in good agreement with the experimental results in a first short-time region but not in long-time region. But the optical transmittance model based on rate equations explains the experimental results very well in both short-and long-time regions.
