Design and synthesis of photosensitive 1D photonic system based on cholesteric liquid crystalline polymer will be presented. The photosensitivity and chirality is provided by a novel chiral hydrazone photochromic moiety covalently boud to the polymer backbone of a comb-shaped copolymer. Combination of the chirality and photosensitivity enabled reversible photomanipulation of the helical pitch of the supramolecular cholesteric structure resulting in material with a tunable selective reflection of circularly polarized light of the same helical sense as the chiral structure. In contrast to many other photochromic systems based on E-Z isomerization, the E and Z isomers of hydrazone photochromic group are kinetically stable that enable to achieve a pure photoinduced switch without any dark relaxation at any temperatures
