Encoding information using molecular vibronics
JOURNAL OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY, 6:675-684, MAR 2006
Signals carrying information are encoded in molecular vibrational waves (vibronics) rather than in electric currents as widely done in microelectronics. We demonstrate theoretically that signals can be transmitted along a long polypeptide molecule; the signal is modulated in a terahertz carrier corresponding to a frequency of an intrinsic vibrational mode of the backbone of the polypeptide, via amplitude and frequency modulations. The modulated carrier is coupled as a vibrational wave to the polypeptide at one end of the molecule and propagates for more than 168 A towards the other end. Digital signal processing techniques are used to recover the modulated signals.
