Abstract
The photocycle of the 4-keto bacteriorhodopsin is investigated. We construc ted a multilevel theoretical model for the nonlinear transmittance properti es of the material. Adjusting the relaxation parameters we are able to fit the theoretical intensity dependent transmittance curves into the experimen ts and to determine the photocycle from simple optical measurements.
