Abstract
While most of the research on materials for reversible optical recording has been on materials using amorphous ←→ crystalline transitions or magneto-optic effects, there have been some proposals for the use of photochromic materials[1]. In this paper we present the results of a preliminary analysis of the intrinsic characteristics of photochromic materials, and the consequences of those characteristics on a bit-oriented optical memory.
