Abstract A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene,namely1-[2-methyl-5-(p-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-3-thienyl]-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-methoxylphenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene (1a), was synthesized. The compound showed good photochromism, high sensitivity and remarkable fatigue-resistance both in solution and in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix with UV/Vis light irradiation. The absorption maximum of its closed-ring isomer was observed at 624 nm in PMMA amorphous film. It is a nice match for the wavelength of the recording laser (633 nm). Using this target compound as recording medium, four types of polarization holographic optical recordings were performed successfully using a He-Ne laser. The results showed that only the orthogonal circular polarization recording could obtain a hologram with high diffraction efficiency and high signal-to noise-ratio. With multiplexing recording technology, three types of polarization multiplexing holographic optical recordings, including angular multiplexing, polarization multiplexing, and angular plus polarization multiplexing holographic recording, were also carried out perfectly based on its photoinduced anisotropic phenomenon accompanying the photochromic reaction by photoirradiation. The results demonstrate that the multiplexing recording technology is an effective method to improve recording capacity when using diarylethene 1 as recording medium.
