Abstract
A direct optical marking process based on dye diffusion in a dye‐polymer system is described. Relevant thermal and spectral properties of dye and substrate were investigated. Typical marking performance is outlined for magenta dye films on Mylar. Marked bits were submicron in size and energy‐density requirements below 100 mJ/cm2 were observed. A mechanism of the process is proposed and good quantitative agreements are obtained between experimental and predicted power thresholds and sensitivities.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
