Picosecond time-resolved absorption spectra of all-tram-and 9-cis-retinal in n-hexane solution have been measured by using an Nd3+:YAG laser photolysis system. A drastic change of the T,+T, absorption spectrum of the 9-cis isomer has been observed in the picosecond to nanosecond time region, which s
