Abstract
Azobenzene-based photo devices have attracted ongoing interest for applications in controlled drug release since the first report by Kano et al. in the early 1980s.[1, 2] However, the poor penetration of UV light which is necessary for chemical structure change of azobenzene limits the in vivo application of azobenzene. In this study, a broadly tunable pulsed laser with a tuning range from the UV to blue region was developed and used for conformational change of the azobenzene derivative.
