Characteristics of a PTIRROL material as a medium for the visualization of pulsed laser radiation
Abstract
The paper examines the basic characteristics of the PTIRROL (phase-transformation interference reverse reflector of light) material, whose visualization properties are based on the dielectric-metal phase transformation in a vanadium oxide thin film. Attention is given to threshold exposure for various recording modes, dynamic range, visual contrast, and resolving power of the PTIRROL material. The optimization of these parameters is carried out with a view to using this material for the visualization of pulsed laser radiation.
