Due to constant development of nanotechnologies and functional nanomaterials used in information systems researchers need to look for new ideas and radically new constructive solutions to ensure efficient device operation, record-breaking high speed and integration of elements. On the other hand, functional elements being formed in nanometer range require landmark approaches. It refers especially to formation of information-logical devices at molecular level.

The solution seems to be connected with hierarchic structural and functional self-organization of molecular systems that is with using assemblies of molecules as a basis of molecular information-logical appliances.

The techno-systematic approaches aimed at implementation of biomolecular neural network appliances based on multilayer polymeric photochromic structure are detailed to describe in this work. Mentioned below biological material – Bacteriorhodopsin protein – has unique technological potential and its optical properties allow the use of optical input-output devices and create molecular appliances based on self- organization principles.

The optimization and enhancement of functional parameters of multilayer structures by, first, using additional nanostructuring of molecular media, and, second, by introduction of new functional elements – hybrid nanostructures (making it possible to further realize a new class of optical information systems based on self-organizing oscillatory and auto wave hierarchical processes in BR-containing nanocomposites) are suggested.

Keywords: neuronets, multilayer structures, hybrid nanostructures
