We applied a free‐electron laser tuned to mid‐infrared wavelength (5.8 μm) to irradiate melanin. The melanin powder was dispersed by the pulse irradiation with power energy of 500 mJ cm−2, and the minimum pulse number for damage to the morphology of melanin was 2 macro‐pulses, which was equivalent to 1.4 s of irradiation. Analyses by mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and 13C‐nuclear magnetic resonance implied that pyrrole group in the structure of synthetic melanin was dissociated by the FEL irradiation. In addition, melanoma cells were substantially damaged by FEL irradiation.
