4. Some Emerging New Topics & Thoughts
• Electro-Optics is actually Electro and Optics separately
at present. (SPR)
• Magnetics remains an area of very low frequency,
far from light frequencies. (r)
• Conductivity remains quantity of relatively low frequency,
far from light frequencies. (passive elements, Weibel amplifier)
• New possibilities for optics emerge in the nanotechnology
era. (dipole engineering: FreqPush, AsymScat, newBrewster)
• Applications based on interactions between lights and
bio-systems / bio-materials are thriving. (Kirlian, SEA,
light-protein, LLLT, GdIONP magnetic fluid hyperthermia)
• High efficiency solar energy harvester is in mind.

5. Electro-Optics is actually Electro and Optics separately at present. (SPR)
Fastest electronic gate: ~ 30 GHz in literature, ~ 10 GHz in industry
Visible light frequency: ~ 1015 Hz
10 GHz : 1015 Hz = 1 : 105 electronics never catches up with lights!
In a way, present day Electro-Optics or Photonics are mere “low-end”
products of what the real Electro-Optics combination should be.
There are much room left in the upper frequencies for electronics!

6. Currently, probably the only exception is the surface plasmon resonance
(SPR) in which a light frequency electro-optic complex is formed, even though
it is not a tangible optic device like a lens still.
Further, developing large-kx SPR would be needed.
(So far, only small kx is accessible by optical means.)

7. Magnetics remains an area of very low frequency, far from light frequencies. (r)
Recall that the index of refraction (n) of a material is:
r r n
We are only relatively good at measuring or even making materials represented
by the dielectric coefficient r which are responsive at light frequencies.
There are simply no light frequency magnets!
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 7
8. Conductivity remains quantity of relatively low frequency, far from
light frequencies. (passive elements, Weibel amplifier)
To achieve very high speed (or, at light frequencies) new electro-optic circuits,
we’d likely need conducting interconnects functioning at such speed.
For example, a future SPR circuits functioning
at light frequencies would need unique wave
filters, reflectors, phase changers, relays and
interconnectors.

9. New possibilities for optics emerge in the nanotechnology era
(dipole engineering: FreqPush, AsymScat, newBrewster)
All macroscopic optical phenomena (e.g., reflection, refraction, transmission,
diffraction) are the results of combining (interfering) numerous microscopic
quantum light scattering scenarios from dipoles.
In the eyes of light waves, all living and nonliving things are dipoles (including
induced and permanent).

10. The traditional Fresnel equations in the electromagnetic theory have been
used in determining the light power distribution at an interface joining
two different media in general.
When expressed in terms of dipoles, the right places (volumetric and
interfacial) to alter the light refraction behaviors become clear.

Thus, manipulating nano or molecular dipoles (including adding different
types and numbers) can lead us to all new light behaviors,
as well as novel optical materials and devices.
It can be applied to achieve, e.g., emergence of a shifted resonance,
asymmetric refraction, new Brewster angle, etc.

31. More Wild Topics to Scratch Our Heads Over
Is light a particle or wave? What’s their difference in terms of applications?
The most accurate physics theory nowadays is quantum mechanics.
Within it, the most accurate one is QED (quantum electrodynamics).
In QED, light is particulate, and in unit of photon traveling at the light speed c.
The particle picture then reveals what a quantum scattering is and how
a light beam can slow down in a material, even a “photon” can only travel at c.
The wave picture may guide us in searching for how lights influence protein
generation and cell birth/death dynamics (e.g., through cytochrome-C, Bcl-2,
p53, etc.).
What’s that in a general material that can interact with lights?
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 31
32. A light beam can heat up a chunk of wood or a piece of metal. Can it be
solely explained from energy flux perspective? What about charge?

So, an AC current arises
So, a force resulted to

(the whole thing: a dipole)
The same mechanism works for insulators,
such as a piece of dry wood,
except that there the
electrons are NOT free to move around. (dipole)

33. Why can light slow down in media? What’s changed? Wavelength
or frequency? Why? Does it have to be so always?
dipoles
' s added

c
A phase lag means
delay in arrival.
Under all circumstances, a photon can only travel at the light speed c.
However, there are intermittent disappearances (wherein new
photon-dipole complexes are formed) of a photon during its passage through
“a cluster of dipoles”– a material in general.
So, macroscopically (after the averaging), the lightwave is slowed down in
that material, with the phase velocity changed from c to v.
Q: Can robust new materials be created in this manner such that c v 0 ?
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 33
34. Is the color sequence of a rainbow fixed? What has caused it so?
The rainbow pattern is the way it is because of the fact: n_red < n_orange
< n_yellow < n_green < n_blue < n_indigo < n_violet.
This is because the resonance is at UV. And, it can be changed.
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 34
35. If the resonance can be moved to the visible range…
For a glass thin-wall hollow prism filled with fuchsine (C20H19N3·HCl, 品紅)
and alcohol, light trespassing through experiences a resonance absorption
at green color, the refraction pattern becomes:
Blue

Q: Can you imagine the subsequent possible effects on humans and plants?
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 35
36. An electron is always anti-magnetic (diamagnetic), and every substance is
made of electrons, how come there are paramagnetic and even
ferromagnetic materials? What about situations at light frequencies?
An electron can certainly catch up with the light frequency since we
already see abundant light-responsive dielectrics resulting from
electronic responses to lights.

So, it must be related to the way
the atoms are stacked (or, latticed).
Entering the nanotech era, new morphology-modified high-frequency
magnetics are very possible.

37. If everything in this universe is a mere cluster of dipoles (electric and
magnetic) in the eyes of lights, why cannot we have new, revolutionary
optical materials and devices?
We certainly can. Especially, dipoles take all kind of forms.
So, there are abundantly many opportunities in front of us, spanning
from microwave to gamma ray frequencies!
Further, why cannot we manipulate lights in biological ways such that
they become favorable to human beings, creatures, plants, foods,
energy production, and environmental protection? (coherent control)

38. Is there a light highway system within each human body or each plant?
According to Dr. Fei-Lun (費倫)’s discovery, there are at least two “liquid
crystals” (in the form of 膠原纖維(collagen fiber)) connecting two
adjacent cells within human body and these fibers overall might just
constitute a light highway system.
Ongoing numerical simulations (CASTEP, DMol3, OptiFDTD) and literature
indicate that IR lights in the range of 4 – 20 m, as well as UV lights of
200-300 nm, can almost freely pass through this light highway.
Is 灸in Chinese medication, simply to supply the needed IR spectrum?
In that sense, are Chinese meridians (經絡) related to this light highway?
Also, IR lights (in the form human body heat) may be a crucial ingredient
to trigger the generation of needed proteins in human body (see below).
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 38
39. If so, can light medicine (or, even quantum medicine) be realized?
In principle, yes, by sending correctly coded light pulse sequences or
light interference, or quantum waves into the human body along
the light highway.
Light pulse sequences should evolve (e.g., via gene algorithm) to adapt
to the best fighting positions to break the target bonding.
Correct light interference will sample the A, T, C, G distribution of the
promoter of a desired protein in an attempt to lead to the generation of
that specific protein.
Light or electric waves mimicking quantum wavefunctions may be
implemented to make up a missed pattern under the guidance of an MRA

43. Protein induction: - activating protein promoters (啟動子)
through light interference action
E.g., 針對參與乳酸化過程的乳酸菌基因
Background:
乳酸化過程是由乳酸菌所產生的許多蛋白激酶所共同作用而完成,
乳酸(Lactate)是其中的一種生成物,如果特定的光線可以使得乳酸增加
而導致溶液中的pH值下降,那麼該光線可能活化了某些蛋白激酶,
使得乳酸的濃度上升。
乳酸化過程:
乳酸(Lactate)主要是丙酮酸(Pyruvate)被乳酸脫氫酶轉化而產生,
而丙酮酸是在糖酵解的過程中,由磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸產生。
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 43
45. 乳酸化所需的基因:
乳酸菌是利用半乳糖相關基因(galactose )和合成乳酸脫氫酶
來進行乳酸的生成,例如LacT、GalK、CcpA
和LDH(乳酸脫氫酶, Lactate dehydrogenase)。
這些基因的promoters都具有一段稱為-35區域的序列,其型式通常為
AAAGGA、TTGCAT、TTTTGG、TTAAGC,

52. In summary,
從乳酸菌基因的誘導轉錄中,可以發現若干典型的基因調控可能性,
但有趣的是,光線這個環境因子並沒有在乳酸菌的基因研究中被提及。
在優酪乳的pH值量測實驗中,pH值會因為紫外光+可見光+紅外光的照射
而降低,但目前還不能確定是否是因為乳酸脫氫酶的增加而導致乳酸的
濃度上升,或是有其它的未知原因存在。
為了確定這個部份,丙酮酸和乳酸脫氫酶定性和定量的檢測方法是
必需的(進行中)。
As such, is it possible that light messages can be employed in treating
many diseases, fighting viruses, adjusting bio-clock, and
even recovering of organs?
If so, a paradigm shift may emerge owing to the need for faster time-to-market.
2009/12/10 National Formosa University -cpliao 52
53. If there is indeed light highway on a plant, is this why it can react to
human touch immediately even though it possesses no nerve system?
We highly speculate that there is such light highway within or on each plant
and the come-close of a human finger simply injects IR lights into
this light highway.
Again, IR lights (in the form human body heat) may be a crucial ingredient
to trigger the generation of needed proteins in the plant.

54. The vast knowledge of organic chemistry is largely a know-how under
room temperature and heat (i.e., a Maxwellian distribution of
particle velocities), not one under specifically tailored light spectra.
Q: Would a strange new world result if the latter is pursued?
Excitingly, yes. Under non-Maxwellian situation
(i.e., no longer the notion: temperature),
the organic chemistry likely will be very much different in content.
What if active coherent control is further involved?
Many new materials, functions, and applications, even those unimaginable,
will come out.
The expanding frontier can only be limited by men’s own imagination.
