Abstract

Materials with chemical and physical properties that can be optically modulated are of high interest for new optical recording systems, holographic rewriteable media, drugdelivery applications, biosensors, and advanced microscopic techniques.[1] Photochromic compounds readily lend themselves to this purpose, as they can be reversibly converted by light between two states with different spectroscopic properties.[2] This attribute can then ...
