Abstract

An investigation was made of the spectra, the kinetics of induction and thermal decay and the dichroism of the photoinduced triplet absorption band in a rigid solution of fluorescein in orthoboric acid. Dynamic holographic recording was possible on this material. An experimental study was conducted into the polarizing properties of the volume transmission holograms. The experiments on four-wave mixing with continous laser light revealed a very high resolution for this rigid solution when used as a medium for optical recording. As a result of the investigations, some possible applications of the rigid solution of fluorescein are pointed out.
