Coherent and Noncoherent Photonic Communications in Biological Systems

TL;DR

This paper explores how biological systems may communicate using optical and UV photons, proposing a model where biochemical reactions during cell division produce photon bursts that facilitate distant communication, similar to digital data exchange.

Contribution

It introduces a novel model of bio-communication via photon bursts linked to biochemical reactions, supported by experimental observations in fish and frog eggs.

Findings

Photon bursts observed in fish and frog eggs.

Proposed communication mechanism resembles binary data exchange.

Biochemical reactions during cell division produce photons for communication.

Abstract

The possible mechanisms of communications between distant bio-systems by means of optical and UV photons are studied. It is argued that their main production mechanism is owed to the biochemical reactions, occurring during the cell division.. In the proposed model the bio-systems perform such communications, radiating the photons in form of short periodic bursts, which were observed experimentally for fish and frog eggs1. For experimentally measured photon rates the communication algorithm is supposedly similar to the exchange of binary encoded data in computer net via optical channels
