Photochromic fulgimides are promising candidates for many technological applications including use in recording media, particularly in erasable optical memory devices. See M.Fan et al. In: Organic

  • the one problem associated with the use of the proposed spiropyrans as photochromic substrates in working optical memory devices lies in the fact that their photoinduced form is not thermally stable and is capable to revert to the ground state by itself.
  • the matrix carrying these photochromic materials must be cooled to at least -78 C. and preferably lower temperatures. Necessity in such low temperatures as a precondition for efficient functioning of devices utilizing above materials is associated with difficulties in design and limits the scope of possible applications.
  • spyropyrans usually lose their photochromic properties after a few read — write - erase cycles.
  • the other problem is a low light-sensitivity of the photochromic organic media because of the absence any catalytic process for receiving image and restriction solubility ob the photochromic compounds in the polymer binders. This leads to low concentration of light- sensitive centers and, consequently, to low information capacity of the recording medium and optical memory.
  • the analog of this invitation is a photochromic materials, in particular, based on photochromic compounds from spiropyran class and polyester as matrix suitable for use in optical memory systems, including three-dimensional optical memory systems for computers, multimedia applications and the like.
  • nonfmorescent spiropyrane is transformed into fluorescent merocyanine by electromagnetic radiation.
  • the progenitor of this invitation is a photochromic material, in which N-(4-Phenyl)-3-[l- (2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-ethylidene]-4-isopropylidene]pyrrolidine - 2,5-dione (Ryoka Matsushima, Hiroshi Sakaguchi. J. Photochem. Photobiology. A: Chemistry. Vol. 108, 239, 1997) is used in the polymer binder.
  • the second state of photochromic substance produces fluorescence under action of radiation of wavelength 1064 nm, i.e. irradiating the volume by this radiation makes it possible information readout by scanning of fluorescent locations. Erasing is achievable by heating medium locally or entirely e.g. by radiating thereof by 2.12 ⁇ beam. Disadvantages of this facility are similar to those of previous one. Since the write-process is two-photon type, necessary are radiation sources of high peak power, consequently operating at relatively low frequencies. Necessity of positioning of two mutually perpendicular beams into the three- dimensional volume of medium sets limits of a voxel dimensions by units or tens microns, the possible focusing spot being of sub-micron size. Besides homogeneity and surfaces confining the volume must be of high optical quality, the latter could be relatively easy achieved in the cases of glass or crystal matrices. For polymer, obtaining of similar quality at mass- production is problematic or will result in costs increase.
  • a method to overcome this disadvantage is to apply method of confocal microscopy [A. Toriumi, J.M. Herrmann, S. Kawata, Nondestructive readout of a three-dimensional photochromic optical memory with a near-infrared differential phase-contrast microscope. - Optics letters, v.22(1997), #8, 555- 557].

  • the facility comprises optical medium positioning facility, radiation sources generating at two wavelengths ⁇ i, ⁇ 2 , optical beam forming system, facility for positioning optical beam, optical radiation detector.
  • the facility is intended for writing into two-photon medium by means its irradiation by ⁇ i beam, the writable component being mixed with signal component comprising medium fluorescent under single-photon absorption only in "recorded" state absorbing reading light quanta of wavelength ⁇ 2 .
  • Photosensitive medium comprises a multilayer structure of alternating photosensitive and non-photosensitive layers selection thereof may be performed either by spatial positioning of the storage volume or by adjustment of focal length of read- write head.
  • the non- photosensitive layers may comprise optical wave-guides along which propagated is radiation of "read" wavelength. In this case, selection of read layer is fulfilled by directing the radiation only into the being read layer. Disadvantages of this approach is similar to previous: usage of two-photon medium, and, correspondingly, need of high-power radiation sources.
  • Fluorescence used for readout imposes limitations on voxel dimensions to provide acceptable intensities of signal at the "read” process.
  • Use of wave-guide for selection of read layer though solves problem of "read” beam positioning however propagating along the wave-guide light penetrates through separation boundary for 0.5 wavelength hence the required volume of fluorescent material may be obtained only owing to increase of the voxel transverse dimensions and, correspondingly, decrease of recording density.
  • Use of single-photon processes inevitably results in partial erasing in each reading act, to avoid this influence the medium is doped with up-converting the radiation component.
