Apparatus, method and system for generating optical radiation from biological gain media
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one engineered or modified biological gain medium including at least one biologically-produced molecule that causes gain;
- wherein the at least one biological medium includes at least two different fluorescent protein molecules,wherein the at least two different fluorescent protein molecules are configured or structured to support a fluorescent resonant energy transfer from a first fluorescent protein molecule to a second fluorescent protein molecule, andwherein the gain is provided by a stimulated emission in the at least one biological medium.

Abstract
In one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus can be provided which includes at least one biological medium that causes gain. According to another exemplary embodiment, an arrangement can be provided which is configured to be provided in an anatomical structure. This exemplary arrangement can include at least one emitter having a cross-sectional area of at most 10 microns within the anatomical structure, and which is configured to generate at least one laser radiation. In a further exemplary embodiment, an apparatus can be provided which can include at least one medium which is configured to cause gain; and at least one optical biological resonator which is configured to provide an optical feedback to the medium. In still another exemplary embodiment, a process can be whereas, a solution of an optical medium can be applied to a substrate. Further, it is possible to generate a wave guide having a shape that is defined by (i) at least one property of the solution of the optical medium, or (ii) drying properties thereof.
