Claims56
An optically recorded article comprising a pattern of isomerized material in two isomeric forms in a cross linked matrix, wherein one of the isomeric forms is capable of being converted to the other form by one-electron oxidation and wherein said matrix was polymerized in-situ, and wherein said article further comprises a recording sensitizer.
An optical recording material comprising an isomerizable material, an in-situ polymerized cross linked matrix and a recording sensitizer, wherein the isomerizable material is capable of photo-sensitized electron transfer forming an oxidized reactant, said oxidized reactant is transformed into an oxidized product.
A method of forming an optically recorded article comprising providing a mixture of matrix precursor, recording sensitizer and isomerizable material, polymerizing said matrix precursor to form an optical cross linked recording article, and irradiating at least a portion of said optical recording article to form an image.
