We report on lasing action from colonies of Escherichia coli bacteria that are genetically programmed to synthesize the green fluorescent protein (GFP). When embedded in a Fabry-Perot type cavity and excited by ns-pulses of blue light (465 nm), the bacteria generate green laser emission (∼520 nm). Broad illumination of pump light yields simultaneous lasing over a large area in bacterial colonies.
我们报告了大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)菌落的激光作用,这些大肠杆菌经过基因编程合成了绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)。当它们被嵌入法布里-珀罗(Fabry-Perot)型腔中,并通过纳秒级的蓝光脉冲(465nm)激发时,细菌会产生绿色激光发射(~520nm)。宽波段的泵浦光照射会在细菌菌落中产生大面积的同时激光。
