title: Encoding optical signals.
abstract: Light up tomorrow: A photochromic material with excellent fatigue resistance, high thermal stability, and quantitative photoswitching can be used as a linear photoswitching material to replace nonlinear optical materials for encoding optical signals. Therefore, information in one light ray can be directly transmitted to another light ray without converting back to the electronic format.
