Information media based on electron-donor oligomers

Routes for designing hole-conducting organic polymers for use in photoelectric solar-energy converters and light emitters and primarily for recording, storage, and processing of optical information are considered. New carbazole-containing radially tetrasubstituted silanes and germanes are described. It is shown that the information characteristics of holographic recording media based on oligomer compositions substantially depend on the shapes of the oligomer macromolecules.
