Chemically enhanced bacteriorhodopsin thin-film spatial light modulator.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An optically addressed spatial light modulator based on a thin film of chemically enhanced bacteriorhodopsin is demonstrated. Incoherent-to-coherent light conversion is achieved by exploitation of both the large shift in absorption maxima accompanying the bR M phototransformation and the extended M-intermediate lifetime resulting from the chemical enhancement of the protein at high pH. The device exhibits a linear dynamic range of 120:1 at 514 nm and a resolution of -100 line pairs/mm.

To enhance photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, coral-like TiO2 nanostructured thin films were chemically synthesized through the sol-gel method. The fabricated thin films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption isotherms, mercury porosimetry measurements, and UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectrum (DRS). The ...
متن کاملNonlinear optical Fourier filtering technique for medical image processing.
Real-time nonlinear optical Fourier filtering for medical image processing is demonstrated, exploiting light modulating characteristics of thin films of the biophotonic material bacteriorhodopsin (bR). The nonlinear transmission of bR films for a 442 nm probe beam with a 568 nm control beam and vice versa is experimentally studied in detail. The spatial frequency information carried by the blue...

متن کاملSpontaneous pattern formation in a thin film of bacteriorhodopsin with mixed absorptive-dispersive nonlinearity.
We have observed the spontaneous formation of transverse spatial patterns in a thin film of bacteriorhodopsin with a feedback mirror. Bacteriorhodopsin has a mixed absorptive-dispersive nonlinearity at the wavelength used in the experiments (633 nm). Threshold values of the incident intensity for observation of pattern formation are found from a linear stability analysis of a model that describ...
متن کاملBacteriorhodopsin optoelectronic synapses.
Synapses are critical components of an artificial neural network. Bacteriorhodopsin thin film can be used to construct compact, finely graded synapses for an optoelectronic neural network, based on its photochromic properties. Measurements show that these photochromic changes are blocked at low temperature. Thermal gating will allow synapses to be written on the film optically and then read wit...
