We investigate the effect of monomer functionality on the electro‐optic performance of holographically‐formed polymer dispersed liquid crystals. Oligomers of functionality 2, 3 and 6 are mixed to yield oligomers of intermediate functionality. Reflection efficiency and critical field peaks are reported for effective functionality ∼4.5. SEM studies allow us to correlate these results to polymer morphology.
