After exposure to light, key components of pigments called chromophores can leave the cells and travel to the nearby pigment epithelium near the retina.
Organic nonlinear optical (NLO) active chromophores are considered to be most important materials, for their wide applications in photonics, which is typically a polarizable molecule consisting of a [pi]-conjugated system with a donor and acceptor group (4).
Other subjects explored include hydrogen bonding effects on the photochemistry of chromophores in solution, photochemical generation of silicon-centered radicals and their reactions, and photochemical processes at the air-water interface of atmospheric droplets.
