A bench specular microscope, modified to perform as a scanning microfluorometer, was used to make simple and precise measurements of the absorption of visible light by the isolated rabbit cornea. The tissue was scanned while identical FITC dextran solutions were perfused over both the surfaces, and the measured fluorescence levels in the solutions on the two sides were compared. The alteration in level corresponds to the difference between the absorption of the cornea and that of of an equal thickness of the solution, which was determined in a separate experiment. The absorption of light at 500 nm ranged from 0-8% with a mean of 3.3% (n = 20; S.E. = 0.52). Pigmented and non-pigmented rabbits did not show any clear difference in absorption. These results suggests that light absorption is not a major source of error in anterior segment fluorophotometry.

In this study, biopolymer composites based on chitosan (CS) with enhanced optical properties were functionalized using Manganese metal complexes and black tea solution dyes. The results indicate that CS with Mn-complexes can produce polymer hybrids with high absorption, high refractive index and controlled optical band gaps, with a significant reduction from 6.24 eV to 1.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) has been regarded as highly potential photocatalyst for solar energy utilization. However, the restricted absorption of visible light for pristine g-CN significantly limits the solar-light-driven chemical reaction efficiency. Herein, structurally distorted g-CN nanosheets with awakened n-π* electron transition were successfully synthesized through hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA)-involved supercritical CO (scCO) treatment and following pyrolysis of melamine precursor.

Photoassisted lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a promising approach to enhance the catalytic transformation kinetics of polysulfide. However, the development is greatly hindered by inadequate photo absorption and severe photoexcited carriers recombination. Herein, a photonic crystal sulfide heterojunction structure is designed as a bifunctional electrode scaffold for photoassisted Li-S batteries.
