Abstract
Optical switching in the class of semiconducting organometallic films such as copper and silver tetracyanoquinodimethane (CuTCNQ and AgTCNQ) can be erased using CO2 laser radiation. The effect can be observed by Raman spectroscopy and direct observation. Results on the wavelength and irradiance dependence of the optical switching threshold are also presented and interpreted in light of proposed switching mechanisms in these organic materials.Keywords
