Linear and nonlinear optical properties of photochromic molecules and materials

Article Abstract:

Photochromic molecules exhibiting linear and nonlinear optical properties can be used as photoresponsive systems by incorporating them into organic or hybrid organic-inorganic systems. Polymers containing azoaryls are excitable with polarized light resulting in dichroism and birefringence, which coupled with nonlinear oprical properties impart photoswitching and data storage capabilities to polymers.

Bacteriorhodopsin as a photochromic retinal protein for optical memories

Article Abstract:

Bacteriorhodopsin is photochromic, crystalline and possesses chemical and thermal stability with extraordinary photosensitivity and cyclicity to illumination. As such, bacteriorhodopsin serves as a platform for designing molecular switches for optoelectronic devices and memory compaction.
