Achieve both multi-wavlength and multi-level optical storage on compact disc by diarylethene

The novel photochromism, diarylethene derivatives, 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethyl-thien-3-yl)perfluoro cyclopentene (la) and l,2-bis(2-methyl-5-carbonylphenyl)-thien-3-yl) perfluorocyclo pentene(2a) were synthesized. And the PC discs of these two diarylethenes were prepared by spin-coating and vacuum evaporating method. To some extent, the high density recording was carried out the multi-wavelength and multi-level optical storage system. On the PC disc, single-wavelength and eight-level recording was realized by 2a, and two laser beams of 532nm and 650nm were used in two-wavelength eight-level recording and readout simultaneously. The results show that the reflectivity differences between the recording region and unrecording region is greater than 50%. The creation is that the two-wavelength and four-step optical recording on the PC disc achieved first time.
