title: Design of two-photon absorbing materials for molecular optical memory and photodynamic therapy.
abstract: Molecular design of two-photon absorption materials toward three dimensional high-density optical memory and highly selective photodynamic therapy at deep tissue sites is introduced. Functionality such as photochromism was attached to highly efficient 2PA materials. In the case of PDT, solubilization of the 2PA agents in water without any aggregation is important.
