Abstract

Novel nondestructive readout methods for near-field optical recording has been demonstrated with an amorphous photochromic film. Large refractive index change of an amorphous photochromic layer of 1,2-bis(5-(2,4-diphenylphenyl)-2,4-dimethyl-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene induced by the photochromic reactions is detected by the use of a guided-wave mode and a substrate radiation mode with near-IR laser light. The modulation amplitude in the reflected light intensity before and after the photo-bleaching reaction was as high as 20%.
