Optical novelty filter using bacteriorhodopsin film

Opt Lett. 2005 Jan 1;30(1):81-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.30.000081.

Abstract

A new kind of optical novelty filtering by an incoherent light system is presented that is based on a special property of dynamic complementary suppression modulated transmission in bacteriorhodopsin film. By simplifying the energy system, we establish a theoretical model, and our experimental results are compared with those reached by numerical simulation of the novelty filter.
