Significant results of our experimental investigations on the dependence of pH on real time
transmission characteristics on recording media fabricated by doping PVC with complexed methylene blue
are presented. The optimum pH value for faster bleaching was found to be 4×5. In typical applications, the
illumination from one side, normal to the surface of this material, initiates a chemical sequence that records
the incident light pattern in the polymer. Thus direct imaging can be successfully done on this sample. The
recorded letters were very legible with good contrast and no scattering centres. Diffraction efficiency
measurements were also carried out on this material. |
