Abstract
Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) useful Molecular Computing is made on a bacteriorhodopsin (BR) molecule film suspended in a viscous liquid medium, similar to a wet photograph but having adaptive and finer pixels.
The natural synergism between the thermal diffusion of BR molecule (induced externally by a write-laser) and its photochromism (generated internally by electronic transitions) is demonstrated in an edge-enhanced laser-image application.
