Abstract
The possible reasons for preservation of a residual image on photothermopla stic information carriers after the supply of an erasing pulse are investig ated. The dependences of the signal of the residual image and the signal of the intensified residual image (the "bad-memory" signal) on the contrast o f the recorded image and the recording signal are determined. Periodic defo rmation of the photothermoplastic layer to a depth of 2 Angstrom is detecte d. (C) 2000 The Optical Society of America. [S1070-9762(00)01302-6].
