The molecular design for large photo‐induced refractive index changes in transparent visible light region was proposed and realized with norbornadiene polymers and poly(vinyl cinnamate). The patterning of pure refractive‐index contract on their transparent films was made with near‐field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Reversible fluorescence patterning on polymer films is also presented by using controlled energy transfer from a fluorescent pyromethene to a photochromic diarylethene.
