Abstract

Summary form only given. In this work we demonstrate that nonlinear-optical method of second-harmonic generation (SHG) with the IR fundamental radiation can be effectively used to determine bacteriorhodopsin (bR) spectral states and suggested as an effective nondestructive read-out for bR-containing optical storage systems.
