| Description | Some knowledge of photophysics and photochemistry is required to design, study, and use a photoswitch. This chapter offers a short prologue to the basics of photophysics and photochemistry and introduces fundamental concepts such as quantum yield and photostationary state. On two examples of common photoswitches, the reader is acquainted with steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods commonly used to study photochromic systems. |
