Abstract

A new concept of molecular motor using optical tweezers within a modified optical add–drop filter known as PANDA ring resonator is proposed. In simulation, dark and bright solitons are input into the system. The orthogonal tweezers can be formed within the system and detected simultaneously at the output ports. Under the resonant condition, the optical tweezers generated by dark and bright soliton pair corresponding to the left-hand and right-hand rotating solitons (tweezers) can be generated. In application, the trapped molecules can be moved and rotated to the required destinations, which can be useful for healthcare applications, especially, in drug delivery, medical diagnosis and therapy.

Highlights

  • Molecular motor is recognized as an essential agent of living organ movement; especially, for cell communication and signaling

  • We have demonstrated that the dynamic behavior of the tweezers can be rotated in the same ways as the photonic spin [23], which can be available for long distance molecule trapping

  • There are 45 different kinesin species in humans, where they can be distributed in all eukaryotic cells by linear motors, which are involved in many functions of biological systems, including cargo transport, microtubule dynamics control, mitosis and they play a crucial role in signal communication ways

Summary

Introduction

Molecular motor is recognized as an essential agent of living organ movement; especially, for cell communication and signaling. The modified add-drop optical filter known as a PANDA ring resonator has been proposed by Jalil et al [21] which is capable to generated dynamic optical tweezers (potential wells) in order to trap the nanoparticles. We have demonstrated that the dynamic behavior of the tweezers can be rotated in the same ways as the photonic (optical) spin [23], which can be available for long distance molecule trapping
