Biomimetics in Photonics

Herausgeber: Karthaus, Olaf

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores a biomimetic approach for developing and improving photonic devices and structures. Leaders in the field discuss not only the mimicking of natural structures and solutions to engineering problems, but also the true understanding of natural processes and the application of these techniques to established technologies. Suitable for researchers and graduate students, the book does more than describe how to extract good design from nature-it highlights natural design techniques in context, allowing for a more complete modeling picture.
