    摘要: The present invention is directed to styryl dyes having the formula: wherein D is an electron donating group; Q is an electron acceptor selected from the group consisting of electron acceptors having the formulae: W is an electron accepting group, R3 is selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or substituted or unsubstituted aryl moieties, n is an integer from 0 to 4, A, B, and C are substituents of their rings and are each independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, sulfoalkyl, carboxyalkyl, and hydrogen, and Y is a counterion The present invention discloses media and methods for recording data. A three-dimensional matrix including a plurality of dye molecules, such a styryl dye molecule of the present invention, is provided. A first volume element in the matrix is exposed to actinic radiation for a duration and at an intensity effective to alter detectably a fraction between 0.3 and 0.7 of the dye molecules contained therein. The detectably altered dye molecules are substantially uniformly dispersed in the first volume element. The data storage methods and media of the present invention have approximately 1012 volume elements per square centimeter, and each of the volume elements can store a single bit, digital information of approximately 8 bits, or analog information. The data storage methods and media of the present invention are particularly useful for storing or archiving a series of two-dimensional black and white or color images, such as frames of a movie. Methods for reading data stored in the data storage media of the present invention using confocal microscopy are also disclosed.

    摘要: Styryl dyes and compositions which exhibit superior two-photon absorption cross-sections and are useful in two-photon pumped cavity lasing, two-photon pumped upconversion lasing, optical power limiting, optical power stabilization, optical signal reshaping, and infrared beam detection and indication are disclosed. Also disclosed are multiphasic nanostructured composites which include a glass having pores, an optically active coating material on the pore surface, and a polymeric material in the pores. These composites are useful in producing multifunctional optical materials, such as broadly tunable lasers. Methods for killing cells and viruses using a photosensitizer and a two-photon upconverting dye are also described. These methods are especially useful to kill cells and viruses in biological materials, such as in photodynamic therapy of tumors and cancers or blood purification protocols. Media and methods for recording data in a three-dimensional matrix which includes a plurality of dye molecules is also described. The data storage methods and media have approximately 10.sup.12 volume elements per square centimeter, and each of the volume elements can store a single bit, digital information, or analog information. The data storage methods and media of the present invention are particularly useful for storing or archiving a series of two-dimensional black and white or color images, such as frames of a movie.
