Review of DNA-based Electro-Optical and Optical Applications
Emily M. Heckman
This paper presents an overview of selected electro-optical and optical applications that integrate the bulk material derived from salmon DNA, commonly referred to as a “DNA biopolymer.” The development of the DNA biopolymer is traced from its early applications in electro-optic waveguides, through improved processing techniques leading to more recent applications.
