The present invention is to provide: a photosensitive composition for volume hologram recording and a photosensitive substrate for volume hologram recording, which provide increased sensitivity during hologram recording and a high refractive index modulation amount, and which do not inhibit the decolorization of the sensitizing dye; and a volume hologram recorded medium which provides high-luminance hologram images with increased productivity. Disclosed is a photosensitive composition for volume hologram recording, comprising: a photopolymerizable monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, a sensitizing dye for sensitizing the photopolymerization initiator, a binder resin, and a thiol group-containing compound, wherein the photopolymerizable monomer contains a photoradically polymerizable monomer and a photocationically polymerizable monomer; wherein the thiol group-containing compound is a chain transfer agent for the photoradically polymerizable monomer and is a polyfunctional secondary thiol compound having two or more secondary thiol groups per molecule; and wherein the content of the thiol group-containing compound is 1.5 to 30 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the photoradically polymerizable monomer. |
