Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing an optical casting comprising at least one volume-holographic optical element by means of at least one casting operation, the process comprising the following steps: providing a casting mould comprising a first mould section having a flat, spherical, aspherical or free-form first surface and a second mould section having a flat, spherical, aspherical or free-form second surface, the first mould section being connectable to the second mould section to form the casting mould, providing at least one holographic optical element, positioning and aligning the at least one holographic optical element with respect to the first mould section or/and with respect to the second mould section, combining the first and second mould sections to form the casting mould, introducing casting material in one or more casting steps, the casting material having a maximum viscosity at 25° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to layered setup comprising a substrate layer and a photopolymer layer bonded thereto at least segmentally, wherein the substrate layer has an average retardation of ?60 nm.
