Title:
【発明の名称】光制御物質及び光制御方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3358770
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A light control substance having a negative input-output characteristic is used to invert optical signals. The light control substance is an absorbing substance and has a multi-level energy structure such that ground state absorption occurs between a ground level (E1) and a level (E3) higher than the ground level (E1) and excited state absorption occurs between an excited level (E2) and a level (E4) higher than the excited level (E2). At a specific wavelength, a variation DELTA Iout in the intensity of output light and a variation DELTA Iin in the intensity of input light satisfy the following equations: where alpha 1 is an absorbance of the ground state absorption, alpha 2 is an absorbance of the excited state absorption, and gamma is a ratio of electrons relaxing from the level (E3) higher than the ground level (E1) to the exited level (E2). As a result, the value of DELTA Iout/ DELTA Iin becomes negative.
