For decades photochromic molecules have attracted attention for their potential in using light as an external stimulus to change their photophysical properties. Here we report the spectroscopic characterization of two emissive photochromic molecules that are intrinsically fluorescent and that undergo a photocyclization/cycloreversion reaction upon illumination with light in the UV and VIS spectral ranges. For appropriately adjusted illumination intensities the emission can be modulated between the high- and the low-level with a contrast ratio exceeding 80%. The data are in reasonable agreement with the predictions from a simple kinetic model.
