Spectral Sensitization and Sensitizing Dyes

  • Chapter
Organic Chemistry of Photography

Abstract

Silver halides have intrinsic sensitivity only at a wavelength shorter than about 450 nm, as described in Chapters 3 and 4. This means that silver halides themselves are not sensitive to green and red lights among visible light. Hence, spectral sensitization for the green and red regions of light is indispensable to both black-and-white and color photography. Various sensitizing dyes have been used for this purpose. Comprehensive reviews on sensitizing dyes have appeared in books on photography [1–5].
