A real-time dynamic holographic material using a fast photochromic molecule
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a real-time, dynamic holographic material that exhibits rapid colouration upon irradiation with UV light and successive fast thermal bleaching within tens of milliseconds at room temperature. Photochromic polymer films were prepared by a simple solution-casting method from the benzene solution of the mixture of the photochromic molecule, poly(ethyl acrylate), and poly(phenoxyethyl acrylate). The real-time control of holographic images using the photochromic polymer film yields a speed equivalent to the time resolution of the human eye. This new type of dynamic holographic material based on fast photochromism opens up an exciting new area of research in the future development of a large dynamic 3D display.

Recent advances in holographic recording media for dynamic holographic display
An overview of the recent advances in the state-of-the-art holographic recoding media dedicated to the dynamic holography display is presented in this paper. Unlike the traditional holographic media, those materials enable the holograms to be updatable rather than permanent like before. Over the past few years, a number of material recipes for this use have been disclosed and can be mainly divi...

Photochromic switches that are able to transmit information in a quick fashion have attracted a growing interest within materials science during the last few decades. Although very fast photochromic switching materials working within hundreds of nanoseconds based on other chromophores, such as spiropyranes, have been successfully achieved, reaching such fast relaxation times for azobenzene-base...
متن کاملPentaarylbiimidazole, PABI: an easily synthesized fast photochromic molecule with superior durability.
We report a new type of fast photochromic imidazole dimer, pentaarylbiimidazole (PABI), which shows a few μs fast photochromism with high fatigue resistance against light irradiation. PABI has an unusual spiroconjugated imidazoisoindole skeleton and its derivatives can be prepared by simple synthetic procedures.

Monocrystalline cadmium fluoride is a dielectric solid that can be converted into a semiconductor by doping with donor impurities and subsequent heating in the reduction atmosphere. For two donor elements, Ga and In, the donor ("shallow") state is a metastable one separated from the ground ("deep") state by a barrier. Photoinduced deep-to-shallow state transition underlies the photochromism of ...
