Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The stepwise two-photon induced photochromism, which involves a short-lived transient species as an intermediate state, is one of the advanced photo-responsive compounds. The key feature of the stepwise two-photon induced photochromism is an effective electronic interaction between the photogenerated transient chromophores. In this project, we have developed the fast T-type biphotochromic molecules showing the stepwise two-photon absorption processes. While high power pulse lasers were necessary to induce conventional simultaneous and stepwise two-photon absorption processes, the stepwise two-photon absorption process with the fast-photochromic compound can be initiated by extremely weak continuous wave light. The following are our outstanding research results.
