Abstract

Holographic properties of a 13-demethyl retinal bacteriorhodopsin (13-demethyl BR) film in gelatin matrix were investigated and compared to those of a native bacteriorhodopsin (BRWT) film. A two-wave mixing experiment was performed to study the self-diffraction efficiency of the samples. The rise and the decay of the grating in the 13-demethyl BR film was measured. The film is relatively slow enabling the recording of simultaneous gratings. Phase conjugate reflectivity was measured by a four-wave mixing experiment. Diffraction efficiency and phase conjugate reflectivity of the 13-demethyl BR film were observed to be comparable to those of the BRWT film.
