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 com
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"... interesting and illuminating ... a useful introduction to the field of biomimetics for photonic applications."
-MRS Bulletin, July 2014
"... provides new insights into biomimetic photonics. ... The reader will find a careful discussion of a night-vision algorithm inspired by the visual system of a nocturnal bee, and a presentation of bio-inspired antireflection coatings."
-Christian Brosseau, Universite de Bretagne Occidentale in Brest, France, and a Fellow of OSA
