摘要：

For many years, photoinduced phase transition (PIPT) phenomena have been investigated to generate a hidden state of matter by means of optically excited states and achieve a ultrafast optical switching on a large scale. Strategies to explore PITP materials are presented along with the early history of PIPT studies.
