Linear and nonlinear optical properties of DNA in suspensions
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has the potential to serve as inexpensive, functionalized photonic material. Previous research has mostly focused on dry DNA thin films; however, little is known regarding the properties and photonics applications of DNA solvents. This paper compares the linear and nonlinear optical properties of different sized DNA in suspensions. In particular, small plasmid DNA, long lambda DNA, and extra-long strawberry DNA were studied. The linear optical properties were evaluated in terms of UV–Vis spectrophotometry, and the nonlinear optical properties were investigated using the closed-open continuous wave Z-scan technique. In addition, the paper investigated DNA suspension survivability to prolonged exposure to a 532 nm green laser. The results showed DNA structural integrity after the 532 nm laser exposure and optical characteristics comparable to synthetic polymers, indicating that DNA suspensions could be a good optical material for photonic devices and optoelectronics applications.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
