a Comparison of the conventional temperature-controlled and photo-mediated bistability. b The real part ε′ at room temperature between the irradiation of 365 and 488 nm. c SHG intensity between the irradiation of 365 and 488 nm at room temperature. d Schematic diagram of the molecular conformation transformation. The blue arrow indicates the direction of the molecular dipole.
