Encoding Optical Signals

Abstract: Light up tomorrow: A photochromic material with excellent fatigue resistance, high thermal stability, and quantitative photoswitching can be used as a linear photoswitching material to replace nonlinear optical materials for encoding optical signals. Therefore, information in one light ray can be directly transmitted to another light ray without converting back to the electronic format.

“…In order to avoid the interference between the sequentially imposed light beams (accumulation effect in general) and to guarantee the precise demodulation of the optical signals, the device was erased with an electrical pulse after reading each light bit. With the two degrees of freedom of a single light beam to carry the digital information, which can be readily read and stored by the present optical demodulator and memory devices, the operation for both the optical‐modulator and demodulator can be simplified as compared to those only capable of using one degree of freedom and larger numbers of light beams to transmit an eight‐bit code . The other letters of the alphabet can be demodulated similarly.…”

“…We believe that this will remain an active area of research due to the strong drive for applications in biology and environmental sciences. In addition, such chemosensors will become more practical and important as tools for diagnosis, imaging, and therapeutic agents, molecular logic gates, and drug delivery systems…”

“…In this way, the information data are coming on-stream, which can be read on an “on-off” manner based on Malus' law ( I = I 0 cos 2 θ ). In contrast with common light-driven molecular logic gates in solution 49 , the incorporation into polymer matrix can provide a route toward all solid-state systems for fabricating a layer of all-photonic logic 50 , especially in encoding optical signals 51 and transistor sensors 52 .…”
