One of the candidates for the photon-mode\u0000 recording media is organic photochromic media. Although much effort\u0000 has been made in this field in the past, the photochromic materials\u0000 still await practical application. The limitation is due to the lack\u0000 of suitable materials which fulfill the requirements for the\u0000 reversible recording media. The requirements for the use are:\u0000 1. Archival storage capability\u0000 2. Low fatigue (write/erase cycles can be repeated many times)\u0000 3. High sensitivity at diode laser wavelengths and rapid response\u0000 4. Non-destructive readout capability.","PeriodicalId":443330,"journal":{"name":"Spectral Hole-Burning and Related Spectroscopies: Science and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115189780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
