Keywords:Optical Fiber, Spider dragline silk
In this presentation, we demonstrate optical communication in terms of the ratio of the intensity of the integrated device that incorporates SD and recombinant SD silk protein microsphere doped with green-fluorescence dye (N-R6-C) in a micrometer-scale SD optical fiber (Figure 1).[2] The intensity ratio of the optical output to the optical input is analyzed numerically and validated experimentally step by step in cross-structure and grid-like weave structure of SD. Results show that the average error is 7.9%, indicating that our model can predict the ratio of intensity within an acceptable range.
