Popis: The recording of thin phase holograms in promising fullerene-containing, polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal composites based on 2-cyclooctylamino-5-nitropyridine and N-(4-nitrophenyl)-(L)-prolinol using picosecond laser pulses is studied for the first time. The anisotropy of the refractive index substantially increases after laser irradiation and exceeds by a factor of five this anisotropy for liquid-crystal cells containing dyes. The results of our studies suggest that the fullerene-containing, polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal systems can be used as passive media for reversible data recording.
