Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The charge transfer apparatus of the present invention comprises an optical storage medium of either a mixture of several charge transfer compounds of varying redox potential or a single amphoteric organic charge transfer compound capable of undergoing a multistage charge transfer reaction, and a source of optical energy, typically a laser. When the optical energy illuminates a spot on the optical storage medium, the spot switches to one of a plurality of optically detectable states.
