Fluorescence modulation of photochromic perylene bisimide dithienylcyclopentene triads: A quantitative model — •Martti Pärs1, Michael Gradmann1, Regina Schmidt1, Katja Gräf2, Peter Bauer2, Mukundan Thelakkat2, and Jürgen Köhler1 — 1Experimental Physics IV, University of Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany — 2Applied Functional Polymers, University of Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany
We present fluorescence modulation experiments using an organic photoswitchable triad that consists of a photochromic unit (dithienylcyclopentene, DCP) that can be interconverted between two bistable (open and closed) forms by light, and two highly efficient fluorophores (perylenebisimide, PBI) [1]. The experiments were carried out as a function of the intensities of the excitation beam that probes the fluorescence and the conversion beam that triggers the photocyclisation of the DPC. From the data we develop a kinetic model that allows us to predict quantitatively the degree of fluorescence modulation as a function of the mutual intensities of the two lasers.
