Abstract

The photochromic diarylethene,1,2-bis(2-methyl-5-(4-formylphenyl)-thien-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene(1a) is studied and its applicable potential in rewritable volumeholographic data storage is verified. Holographic recording films of10-µm thickness have been fabricated. The refractive index modulation(Δn = 1.15×10-3) between the open- and close-ring formsis detected to be large enough so that the films are suitable for theproduction of volume holographic storage. The experiments of anglemultiplexing and rewriting holograms show that the materials are fitfor volume holographic data storage.
