Processing Techniques for Deoxyribonucleic Acid: Biopolymer for Photonics Applications

by Emily M. Heckman et al. Applied Physics Letters, 21 Nov 2005 Marine-based deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), purified from waste products of the Japanese fishing industry, has recently become a material of interest in photonics applications. Using highly purified DNA, unique processing techniques developed specifically to transform the purified DNA into a biopolymer suitable for optical device fabrication are reported. Read more
