Tandem triad systems based on FRET for two-photon induced release of glutamate†
Abstract
Tandem systems allowing enhanced two-photon (2P) absorption in a wavelength range permitting coupling of the primary excitation by energy transfer to an intramolecular cage known to have fragmentation properties suited to photolysis in neuroscience is demonstrated to lead to a 10-fold improvement in the 2P photolysis cross-section at experimentally compatible wavelengths.
