Abstract

Five diarylethenes which have similar absorption spectra were chosen as recording media and their writing/readout characteristics were investigated in photon-mode optical storage. Writing power and the recording laser wavelength were the main factors influencing writing time. The experimental results showed that the writing time decreased rapidly with the increases of writing power (P), and the destruction of the readout had a remarkable difference when recording on the left side of the their maxima absorption with a 532 nm laser and recording on the right side with a 650 nm laser. The readout destruction of recording at the left side was much smaller than that of recording at the right side.
