PHOTOREACTIVE DYE FOR HOLOGRAPHIC STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

Disclosed herein are novel amidic nitrone and a method of manufacturing a data storage media comprising mixing the amidic nitrone, as a photochromic dye, with an organic material or an inorganic material to form a holographic composition and molding the holographic composition into holographic data storage media. Disclosed herein too is an article comprising a photochromic dye and an organic material, wherein the article is used as a data storage media. Disclosed herein too is a method for recording information comprising irradiating an article that comprises a photochromic dye, wherein the irradiation is conducted with electromagnetic energy having a wavelength of about 350 to about 1,100 nanometers; and reacting the photochromic dye.
