Abstract
Optical information recording and storage is investigated in hydrogenated amorphous semiconductor films. The recording mechanisms are based on the evolution of hydrogen within the active layer. Three different processes are observed: (1) bulge (or bubble) formation, (2) spongelike microswelling, and (3) ablation without melting.Keywords
