Chromophore molecules that undergo reversible isomerization under excitation by two different wavelengths of light are commonly referred to as photoswitchable molecules. Through the use of light-induced reversible changes combined with precisely spatial and temporal light control, photoswitchable molecules can be applied in areas such as actuators, optics, molecular motors, and photobiology.
