Opportunities to apply photochromism in smart optics are highlighted. The reversible light-triggered switching in UV-vis absorption and in the refractive index can be exploited to develop rewritable optical elements, specifically tunable masks, amplitude holograms and volume gratings. Description of the configuration and performance of the optical devices with possible open issues is preceded by a discussion dealing with the molecular features that provide a strong modulation of the material properties which is required for a convenient functioning of the device.
