Processes of e-beam and holographic recording of surface relief structures using Ge^sub 5^As^sub 37^S^sub 58^-Se multilayer nanostructures as registering media were studied in this paper. Optical properties of Ge^sub 5^As^sub 37^S^sub 58^, Se layers, and Ge^sub 5^As^sub 37^S^sub 58^-Se multilayer nanostructures were investigated. Spectral dependencies of refractive index were analyzed within the frames of single oscillator model. Values of optical band gaps for Ge^sub 5^As^sub 37^S^sub 58^, Se layers, and Ge^sub 5^As^sub 37^S^sub 58^-Se multilayer nanostructures were obtained from Tauc dependencies. Using e-beam and holographic recording, diffraction gratings were fabricated in Ge^sub 5^As^sub 37^S^sub 58^-Se multilayer nanostructures. Images of Ukraine and Moldova state emblems were obtained by e-beam recording. Image size consisted of 512×512 pixels (size of 1 pixel was ~2 [mu]m). Ge^sub 5^As^sub 37^S^sub 58^-Se multilayer nanostructures are perspective for the direct recording of holographic diffraction gratings and other optical elements.
