An analysis is presented for theoretical model studies of photochromic systems with reversible fluorescence modulation derived from polymer nanospheres containing CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and photochromic diarylethene DAE2 molecules. Using the theory of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), a model is constructed for the efficiency of modulation of the QD fluorescence E(r) caused by photochromic transformations of the DAE2 molecules located near the QD due to the FRET mechanism. The range of optimal values was determined for the parameters that affect the efficiency of the fluorescence modulation due to FRET. The FRET efficiency E(r) is given for some boundary values of factors affecting this phenomenon. The value E(r) ~ 0.7 can be achieved at distances between donors and acceptors r = 4.5 nm if one QD with a fluorescence quantum yield Q = 0.4 accounts for at least n = 16 DAE2 molecules (or at Q = 0.8 and n = 8) as well as at distances r = 3 nm (Q = 0.1 and n = 6, Q = 0.4 and n = 2, Q = 0.8 and n = 1). The results obtained can be used to optimize the structure and procedure for the synthesis of photochromic luminescent nanospheres.
