An optical recording material for binary, multibit or volume data storage is described. The optical recording material comprises: (a) at least one dyestuff selected from polymeric azo dyestuffs and oligomeric azo dyestuffs, the dyestuff changing its spatial arrangement upon irradiation with polarized electromagnetic radiation; and (b) optionally at least one grouping having form anisotropy. The optical recording material has the following characteristics: (i) the absorption maximum of the dyestuff(s) is at least 30 nm less than 400 nm and/or at least 30 nm greater than 400 nm; (ii) at 400 nm the dyestuff reaches an optical density of not more than 60% of its absorption maximum; (iii) the optical recording material has the capacity for being rewritten on by changing the state of polarization of actinic light, an intensity of at least 80% of the original value being achieved after a deletion/rewriting cycle; and (iv) at 400 nm, under identical conditions, an optical writing operation performed upon the optical recording material proceeds no more slowly than at 500 nm, and birefringence values induced during the optical writing operation do not differ from those birefringence values induced at 500 nm by more than 10%.
本文描述了一种用于二进制、多位或体积数据存储的光学记录材料。该光学记录材料包括:(a)至少一种从聚合偶氮染料和寡聚偶氮染料中选择的染料,该染料在极化电磁辐射照射下改变其空间排列;以及(b)可选地至少一种形成各向异性的基团。该光学记录材料具有以下特征:(i)染料的吸收峰位至少比400纳米小30纳米和/或至少比400纳米大30纳米;(ii)在400纳米处,染料的光密度不超过其吸收峰值的60%;(iii)光学记录材料具有通过改变致动光的偏振状态进行重写的能力,在删除/重写循环后达到至少80%的原始值;以及(iv)在相同条件下,在400纳米处进行的光学写入操作不会比在500纳米处进行的操作慢,并且光学写入操作期间诱导的双折射值与在500纳米处诱导的双折射值之间的差异不超过10%。
