Bioinspired Photonics (eBook, ePUB)

Optical Structures and Systems Inspired by Nature

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the captivating and diverse photonic systems seen in nature and explores how we take inspiration from them to create new photonic materials and devices. The author walks readers through examples taken from nature, delves into their characterization and performance, and describes the unique features of their performance. She interweaves this material with discussions on fabricating synthetic versions of the systems as well as aspects of the biological examples that researchers are leveraging in their own work.
