Abstract
Aminoazopyridines are valuable molecules for stable information transmitting systems as well as for light-controlled optical oscillators. Amino-substituted azopyridinium methyl iodide salts transmit optical information within the time scale of nanoseconds, and moreover, show oscillation frequencies up to 1 MHz at room temperature.Keywords
