A photoswitchable, transparent, and highly conducting device that functions via nanophotonic interaction of a metal film coated with spirophenanthrooxazine (SPO) molecules embedded in polymeric matrix fabricated through spin coating is demonstrated. The possesses additional novel functionality as photobleaching gas sensor.
