Nonlinear Optical Interactions in Bacteriorhodopsin Using Z-Scan

Nonlinear refractive index coefficient n₂ of bacteriorhodopsin suspensions in water is measured by the Z-scan technique with a low power continuous wave laser at 647.1 manometer wavelength. Our results indicate that both the magnitude and the sign of n₂ depend strongly on the light intensity. Negative values for n₂ are obtained for on axis laser irradiance at the focus above 3 W/cm². The observed self-defocusing phenomena can be attributed to the index change due to the light induced transition between the photochromic states. The results elucidate the origin of n₂ and offer a plausible explanation for the differences in the reported n₂ measurements.Presented at the International Commission for Optics Topical Meeting, Kyoto, 1994.

Nonlinear Optical Response of a Fibonacci Multilayer

By studying numerically the light transmitting through a finite nonlinear Fibonacci multilayer, we find the gap-soliton-like phenomenon. The Fibonacci multilayer contains a Kerrtype nonlinearity in one component. When the frequency of incident light is in a stop gap, increasing the incident light intensity will make the system switch from a lower transmission state to a higher transmission state. Transmissivity for some frequencies can reach unit, which shows that they correspond to transparent states. Distribution of the field intensity in the Fibonacci structure has a particular gap-soliton-like shape, which has the multi-carrier wave.
