Abstract
The photochromic retinal protein bacteriorhodopsin which was obtained from Halobacterium salinarium has been studied as the photoactive comp onent of recording materials for different dynamic holographic applica tions like degenerate-four-wave-mixing (DFWM) and interferometry. With the mutated BR-variant D96N resonantly induced reflectivities of up t o 20% are observed at 647 nm in DFWM. The excellent reversibility of t he BR-materials and the extended thermal decay time of this particular BR-variant support its application in real-time interferometry.
