Abstract

A novel class of squarylium infrared absorbing dyes is disclosed which are prepared by the condensation of squaric acid with a benzoxazinone. The dyes are unique in that they possess the desirable properties of squarylium dyes in general along with a narrow band of peak absorbency greater than 1000. Because of their stability to laser beams, the dyes are particularly useful in ocular products for eye protection against lasers.
