Photophysical characterization of a photochromic system: The case of merocyanine 540

The fluorescence emission of merocyanine 540 (MC540) in 95% ethanol was studied under continuous irradiation. Fluorescence spectra from excited states of both normal (N) and photoisomeric (P) species are identical. The laser fluence dependence of the fluorescence intensity is interpreted on the basi...
