Abstract

The linear expansion and thermo-optic coefficients of a bacteriorhodopsin film were measured by using an interferometric method. The experimental results confirm the previous suspicions that the large refractive nonlinearity which occurs at high illumination intensities arises form a thermal effect. The results also suggest a possible way to increase the usable thermal nonlinearity by four times.
