Abstract

Mutated bacteriorhodopsins are considered as versatile media in optical image processing. The following topics are discussed: the biological function of bacteriorhodopsin (BR); the photocycle of BR; light-controlled absorption of BR films; BR films in transmission- and reflection-type dynamic holograms; holographic interferometry (image processing in the time domain); holographic pattern recognition (image processing in the space domain)
