Biomimetic photonics is a burgeoning field. Biologists are finding
and describing a whole menagerie of unique and astonishingly
complex nano- and microstructures in fauna and flora. Material
scientists are developing novel multifunctional and hierarchical
structures with a wide variety of post-nano era photonics
applications. Mathematicians and computer scientists are using
computer models and simulations to understand the underlying
principles of biomimetic structures. However, concepts, structures,
and phenomena that are well known in one community are quite
unknown in others. Exploring a biomimetic approach to developing
photonic devices and structures, Biomimetics in Photonics discusses
not only the role of and results of biomimicry in engineering, but
also the true understanding of natural processes and the
application of these techniques to established technologies.
Featured Topics Photonic structures in flowers, leaves and fruits
and inorganic structures produced in aquatic environment by
diatoms, sponges, and shells Mechanisms for biomineralization and
how natural structures can be synthetically modified or even used
as templates for artificial photonic materials Biological photonic
structures in beetles and butterflies and their bio-inspired
applications, including anti-reflecting surfaces, iridescent
viruses, light reflection, metallic effects, and infrared sensors
Suitable for researchers and graduate students, the book does more
than describe how to extract good design from nature-Biomimetics in
Photonics highlights natural design techniques in context, allowing
for a more complete modeling picture. It demonstrates the
possibilities and challenges in the move from a laboratory
environment to industrial scale production of biomimetic photonic
structures.
