SHINSHA S ROLL NO :51 www.digitalelectronicz.com S7 ME

INTRODUCTION
Since the dawn of time ,man has tried to record important events and techniques for everyday life. At first, it was sufficient to paint on the family cave wall, how one hunted, then came the people who invented spoken languages and the need arose to record what one was saying without hearing if firsthand. However in the twentieth century computers began to come into general use.

Advantages of molecular switches


Appreciable

reduction in hardware size Computer size can be reduced to about 1/20th of that of the present day computers Improvement in speed, high reliability & thorough put

Advantages of molecular switches


More

affordable & Enormous storage capacity Less power consumption & high density packing can be increased

Applications
Storage

of digitized hospital x-rays that will allow a physician to instantly obtain high-resolution images of a patients records stored hundreds of miles away. Cable television stations and potentially individuals, will be able to store countless hours of movies on a single cube.

Applications
In

fact, anyone with large database requirements will benefit from future applications of this emerging technology Banks, financial institutions and insurance companies.

Bacteria Rhodopsin
A

light harvesting protein found in the purple membrane of the bacteria Halobacterium salinarium Grows in salty marshes & where the temperature is very high It can switch over from respiration to photosynthesis

Bacteria Rhodopsin
Resists

thermal & photochemical degradation Since organic, it can be grown & extracted in lab Easy to store & ship

www.digitalelectronicz.com

Advantages
Long

term stability and resistance to thermal and photochemical degradation. A cyclicity (the number of times it can be photo chemically cycled), exceeds 10, a value considerably higher than most synthetic photo chromic materials. Wavelength independent quantum yields

Advantages
High

two-photon cross sections, permitting activation in the infrared and threedimensional memory architectures Generation of a photoelectric signal upon photo conversion, permitting electronic state assignments

Advantages
High

quantum yields (efficient use of light), which permits the use of low light levels for switching/activating. Ability to form thin films or oriented polymer cubes containing bacteriorhodopsin

CONCLUSION
Small enough to be incorporated onto standard computer boards, these optical computer memory systems will be interfaced to advanced computer architectures for high speed processing. indeed, we are on the threshold of a new exciting era in the wonderful world of computing .And every possibility in the near future we will be able to carry a small encyclopedic cube containing all the information we need and retrievable at the speed of light!!!
