Experimental and Monte Carlo studies of diffraction grating inscription in DNA-based materials

摘要

DNA-based materials offer new possibilities for holographic information inscription for photonic applications, in particular because of a very short operational time. Recent results for dynamic holographic recording/erasure of gratings in DR1:DNA-CTMA thin films are presented. We discuss the possibilities and perspectives of numerical modelling of underlying fast "microscopic" physical processes, in a framework of a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation method developed recently for studies of various aspects of inscription/erasure of gratings in azopolymers with doped and functionalized dyes.
