Abstract

The photochromic diarylethene, 1, 2-bis(2-methyl-5-(3-trifluorophenyl)-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (BMTTP), was synthesized. This compound undergoes a photochromic reaction either in solution, PMMA amorphous film or in the single crystalline phase. Using this compound as recording medium, two-photon optical bit pattern storage was performed successfully by a femtosecond laser and a reflection confocal scanning-fluorescence microscope.
