ABSTRACT Photoinduced spectral change can be utilized for various optical devices. The photoinduced spectral change due to an organic dye was demonstrated for the organic-inorganic hybrid film without the aid of photochromism with a simple preparation method for the first time. By the hybridization of a cyanine dye of 2-[5-(1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1-octadecyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)-1,3-pentadienyl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-octadecyl-3H-indolium perchlorate (NK3175) with an inorganic laye...
