Abstract
It is proposed to apply dynamic holography method for exploring real-time phototransformations in the biological photoreceptor molecule. At dynamic holography grating recording, the interference of two coherent laser beams forms a modulation of the total light intensity at the sample plane. This leads to the space modulation of both absorption and refractive index in the sample and a dynamic holography grating is recorded. The dynamic holography is a zero background technique and it is possible to vary a special grating period from 0.2 to 100 micrometers in real time. The advantages of dynamic holography method for an investigation of functionally important processes in photoreceptor molecule are demonstrated with bacteriorhodopsin sample.
