Abstract
This paper presents a novel optical processing approach for exploring genome sequences built upon an optical correlator for global alignment and the extended dual-vector-curve (DV-curve) method for local alignment. To overcome the problem of the traditional DV-curve method for presenting an accurate and simplified output, we propose the hybrid amplitude wavelength polarization optical DV-curve (HAWPOD) method, built upon the DV-curve method, to analyze genome sequences in three steps: DNA coding, alignment, and post-analysis. For this purpose, a tunable graphene-based color filter is designed for wavelength modulation of optical signals. Moreover, all-optical implementation of the HAWPOD method is developed, while its accuracy is validated through numerical simulations in LUMERICAL FDTD. The results express that the proposed method is much faster than its electrical counterparts.
