title: Study of nonlinear optical properties of multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett films containing bacteriorhodopsin.
abstract: Multilayer oriented Langmuir-Blodgett films of bacteriorhodopsin were prepared and their nonlinear optical properties, including second harmonic generation and photoresponse at a two phase-modulated beams mixing, were investigated. The nonlinear component of refractive index of the films was measured.
