Abstract

How has “bacteriorhodopsin” development been progressing over the last year? The protein is definitely proving itself worthy of serious consideration for use in miniaturized, three dimensional optical memory devices and systems, but realization of commercial 3-D holographic memories is still about three years away. On the nearer horizon, this promising bioelectronic medium could well become the material of choice for a number of non-destructive testing (NDT) applications using holographic interferometry as the fundamental operating principle. If all goes as the most aggressive investigators predict, real bacteriorhodopsin-based NDT systems could be commercially available in the next 2 years.
