Abstract
The investigation of third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of coordination polymers (CPs) based on solid samples is very difficult but is crucial for practical applications. Herein, we show a method for preparing high optical quality CP films in a polymer matrix to study the third-order NLO performance of solid-state CPs. Two novel azobenzene-based CPs, [CdL(DMAc)(H2O)]n (1) and {[CuL(4,4'-azobpy)]·3H2O}n (2) (H2L = 5-((4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)methyl)isophthalic acid), were selected as study subjects. The corresponding microcrystals with a grain size of around 3 μm were doped into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), forming CP films (1-MC/PVA and 2-MC/PVA). 1-MC/PVA and 2-MC/PVA exhibit NLO absorption switching behavior from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with increasing pulse energy. Moreover, their NLO properties can also be efficiently modulated by photostimulation energy due to the trans → cis isomerization of an azobenzene moiety. The density functional theory (DFT) results show that the narrower the band gap between the conduction band minimum and the valence band maximum, the denser the electron density distribution in the central mental and coordination atoms, which is beneficial to exhibit better third-order NLO performance. This work provides a feasible method for the wider practical application of solid materials with excellent third-order NLO performance.

Abstract
Energy-efficient capture and release of small gas molecules, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), are of significant interest in academia and industry. Porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively studied, as their ultrahigh porosities and tunability enable significant amounts of gas to be adsorbed while also allowing specific applications to be targeted. However, because of the microporous nature of MOFs, the gas adsorption performance is dominated by high uptake capacity at low pressures, limiting their application. Hence, methods involving stimuli-responsive materials, particularly light-induced switchable adsorption (LISA), offer a unique alternative to thermal methods. Here, we report the mechanism of a well-known LISA system, the azobenzene-based material PCN-250, for CO2 and CH4 adsorption. There is a noticeable difference in the LISA effect dependent on the metal cluster involved, with the most significant being PCN-250-Al, where the adsorption can change by 83.1% CH4 and 56.1% CO2 at 298 K and 1 bar and inducing volumetric storage changes of 36.2 and 33.9 cm3/cm3 at 298 K between 5 and 85 bar (CH4) and 2 and 9 bar (CO2), respectively. Using UV light in both single-crystal X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption testing, we show that upon photoirradiation, the framework undergoes a "localized heating" phenomenon comparable to an increase of 130 K for PCN-250-Fe and improves the working capacity. This process functions because of the constrained nature of the ligand, preventing the typical trans-to-cis isomerization observed in free azobenzene. In addition, we observed that the degree of localized heating is highly dependent on the metal cluster involved, with the series of isostructural PCN-250 systems showing variable performance based upon the degree of interaction between the ligand and the metal center.

Abstract
Photoinduced modulation of the optical parameters of nanomaterials underlies the operating principles of all-optical nanodevices. Here, we demonstrate the laser-induced 10% modulation of the refractive index and 16-fold modulation of the extinction coefficient of the dynamic metal-organic framework (HKUST-1) nanocrystals within the whole visible range. Using the laser-induced water sorption/desorption process inside HKUST-1, we have achieved size-dependent reversible tuning of brightness and color of its nanocrystals over the different spatial directions and color palette. The numerical analysis also confirmed the detected optical tuning through the evolution of optical spectra and directivity of the scattered light. The results of the work demonstrate the promising nature of the dynamic metal-organic frameworks for nonlinear optics and expand the library of chemically synthesized hybrid materials with light-controlled optical properties.

Abstract
The preparation of functional materials from photoswitchable molecules where the molecular changes multiply to macroscopic effects presents a great challenge in material science. An attractive approach is the incorporation of the photoswitches in nanoporous, crystalline metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, often showing remote-controllable chemical and physical properties. Because of the short light-penetration depth, thin MOF films are particularly interesting, allowing the entire illumination of the material. In the present progress report, we review and discuss the status of photoswitchable MOF films. These films may serve as model systems for quantifying the isomer switching yield by infrared and UV-vis spectroscopy as well as for uptake experiments exploring the switching effects on the host-guest interaction, especially on guest adsorption and diffusion. In addition, the straightforward device integration facilitates various experiments. In this way, unique features were demonstrated, such as photoswitchable membrane separation with continuously tunable selectivity, light-switchable proton conductivity of the guests in the pores, and remote-controllable electronic conduction.

Abstract
When fabricating macroscopic devices exploiting the properties of organic chromophores, the corresponding molecules need to be condensed into a solid material. Since optical absorption properties are often strongly affected by interchromophore interactions, solids with a well-defined structure carry substantial advantages over amorphous materials. Here, the metal-organic framework (MOF)-based approach is presented. By appropriate functionalization, most organic chromophores can be converted to function as linkers, which can coordinate to metal or metal-oxo centers so as to yield stable, crystalline frameworks. Photoexcitations in such chromophore-based MOFs are surveyed, with a special emphasis on light-switchable MOFs from photochromic molecules. The conventional powder form of MOFs obtained using solvothermal approaches carries certain disadvantages for optical applications, such as limited efficiency resulting from absorption and light scattering caused by the (micrometer-sized) powder particles. How these problems can be avoided by using MOF thin films is demonstrated.

Abstract
Active spectral tuning of nanophotonic devices offers many fascinating prospects for the realization of novel optical function. Here, switchable spectral response is enabled by the architecture of one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PC) integrated with phase change material of the germanium antimony telluride (GST). Active and precise tuning of the bistable passband and central resonant frequency is demonstrated in the 1D PC composed of alternate SiN and GST nanofilms. An analytical model is derived to specify the tunable spectral features, including the band gap and resonant frequencies. Both the measured and calculated results show distinct red shifts of passband and the resonant minima (or maxima), well confirming theoretical predictions. This work demonstrates a route to construct active photonic devices with the electrically or thermally tunable spectra via 1D PC and potentially extends diverse applications based on the PC platform.
