Abstract
In a systematic study on materials for holographic data storage, a wide var iety of azo dyes of different shapes and optical properties were covalently bound to cholesteric liquid crystalline oligosiloxanes; some of these mate rials exhibit high holographic efficiency and/or sensitivity but no general correlation between the holographic writing efficiency and/or the sensitiv ity with the structure was found.
