title: Photo-driven optical oscillators in the kHz range based on push-pull hydroxyazopyridines.
abstract: Push-pull azophenols are valuable target molecules for stable photo-driven optical oscillators. Hydroxyazopyridinium methyl iodide salts show oscillation frequencies up to 10 kHz with no signs of fatigue upon continuous work.
