Abstract
Biphoton holograms are recorded by a He-Ne laser in Methyl Orange and Ethyl Orange dyes on exposure to a 514.5-nm argon-ion laser, and the d ynamic of holographic recording is reported. The recording utilizes an unusual photochemistry that is due to either to a triplet-triplet tra nsition from a long-lived triplet lower state of the cis configuration or a transition back to the trans state.
