Abstract
The results of Stark hole burning of aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulf onate (APT) in MCF-10F (normal) and MCF-7 (cancer) cells are reported. Hole broadening was observed far zero-phonon holes (ZPH) for both cel l lines when laser polarization was parallel and perpendicular to an a pplied electric (Stark) field. Changes in dipole moment suggest that d ye molecules are located near the cell membrane and, in normal cells, experience some degree of ordering not found in the cancer cells.
