Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Photochromic Molecules and Materials

Optical properties and applications of photochromic molecules and materials, other than the UV-vis absorption change, but connected with it, are examined. In some cases, photoswitching of nonlinear optical properties of photochromatic materials can lead to the conception of new devices for data stor...

Description
Summary:Optical properties and applications of photochromic molecules and materials, other than the UV-vis absorption change, but connected with it, are examined. In some cases, photoswitching of nonlinear optical properties of photochromatic materials can lead to the conception of new devices for data storage or optical switching.
