Abstract:
1. An optical structure comprising: one or more material layers having spectrally selective reversible and irreversible transitions at a plurality of wavelengths including uniform illumination by saturating one of the spectrally selective reversible transitions with an optical node in selectively retaining a single molecule, with sufficient exposure time, from a layer of photosensitive molecules in a configuration and exposing the single molecule to its spectrally irreversible transitions to form a pattern, said photosensitive molecules display an increase in conjugation length upon illumination with a first wavelength and a decrease in conjugation length upon illumination with a second wavelength, said optical node being positioned at a location of desired exposure, said pattern comprises a three dimensional nanopattern, wherein said exposure time depends on actual intensity in said node, slope of said intensity of said node, and desired spatial resolution.
