Holographic multiplexing in photorefractive and photochromic polymers - associative optical memories for high-throughput screening

应在Köln大学进行全息多路复用实验，并在Es Cachan开发下一代光折变和光致变色低分子玻璃，并在IPCMS Strasburg进行表征和建模。全息图以一种可以同时读取的方式存储，允许图像的光学互相关。特别是，如果图像来自生物(化学)传感器阵列，该技术将允许快速测试交叉敏感性，同时考虑到所有通道。因此，该项目将对高通量筛查等未来的医疗应用产生强大的影响。该项目的预期成果是开发具有独特光折变和/或光致变色特性的新型玻璃化合物，对其进行深入表征，并最终首次实现用于生物(化学)传感器阵列评估和互相关的关联光学存储器。该项目汇集了在有机合成化学、材料科学、物理和光学计算领域拥有理想兼容专业知识的三个团队。这种独特的星座保证了项目的成功结果。

Holographic multiplexing experiments should be performed at the University of Köln with the next generation of photorefractive and photochromic low-molecular-weight glasses to be developed at ENS Cachan and to be characterized and modeled at IPCMS Strasbourg. The holograms are stored in a way that they can be all read at the same time, allowing for optical cross-correlation of images. In particular, if images originate from bio (-chemical) sensor arrays, this technique will allow to rapidly test for cross-sensitivities, taking into account all channels simultaneously. Thus, the project will have a strong impact on future medical applications such as high-throughput screening. The expected output of the project is the development of novel glassy compounds with unique photorefractive and/or photochromic properties, their in-depth characterization, and finally the first realization of an associative optical memory for the evaluation and the cross-correlation of bio(-chemical) sensor arrays. The project brings together three teams with ideally compatible expertise in the fields of organic synthetic chemistry, material science, physics and optical computing. This unique constellation guarantees a successful outcome of the project.
