In this paper, spectroscopic properties and static test of two different kinds of indoaniline cyanine dye films were studied. Results showed that absorption spectra of dyes in solvent are different from those in the spin-coated films. As optical recording materials, the two spin-coated films have acceptale absorption and reflection in the visible and the near infrared range. In static testing, they both showed reflectivity contrast (C) bigger than 40%. Moreover, their reflectivity characteristic was specially detected using the continous He-Ne laser irradiation. The results indicated that their reflectivity increased gradually under laser irradiation and tended to become saturated.
