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.
