Description for Photonic Structures Inspired by Nature
Hardback. Ranging from plant photonics to theoretical optics, this book covers natural structural colours and biomimetic photonic structures as well complex artificial photonic structures. The photonic effects discussed are supported by state-of-the-art calculations. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 160 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHJ; PHVN; TBN; TJFD; TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 238 x 160 x 15. Weight in Grams: 390.
Unlike most natural colours that are based on pigment absorption, the striking iridescent and intense colouration of many butterflies, birds or beetles stems from the interaction of light with periodic sub-micrometer surface or volume patterns, so called “photonic structures”. These “structural colours” are increasingly well understood, but they are difficult to create artificially and exploit technologically. In this thesis the field of natural structural colours and biomimetic photonic structures is covered in a wide scope, ranging from plant photonics to theoretical optics. It demonstrates diffractive elements on the petal surfaces of many flowering plant species; these form the basis for ... Read more
