Optical biomimetics, the study of natural systems to inspire novel solutions to problems in optical technologies, has attracted growing interest. Optical biomimetics provides a review of key research in this area, focusing on the techniques and approaches used to characterise and mimic naturally occurring optical effects. The book discusses optical applications of biomolecules, such as retinylidene and bacteriorhodopsin, polarisation effects in natural photonic structures and their applications, and biomimetic nanostructures for anti-reflection (AR) devices. Control of iridescence in natural photonic structures is explored through the case of butterfly scales, alongside a consideration of nanostructure fabrication using natural synthesis. The investigation into silk optical materials is followed by a final discussion of the control of florescence in natural photonic structures.
Key Features: reviews key research in optical biomimetics, focusing on the techniques and approaches used to characterise and mimic naturally-occurring optical effects; discusses optical applications of biomolecules, such as retinylidene and bacteriorhodopsin; explores the control of iridescence in natural photonic structures through the case of butterfly scales.
Contents: Natural photonic structures: An overview; Optical applications of biomolecules; Polarisation effects in natural photonic structures and their applications; Biomimetic nanostructures for anti-reflection (AR) devices; Control of iridescence in natural photonic structures: The case of butterfly scales; Fabrication of nanostructures using natural synthesis: Optical materials using silk; Fluorescence control in natural green fluorescent protein (GFP)-based photonic structures of reef corals.
