Photonic Structures Inspired By Nature.
Unlike In the greatest degree Natural Colours That Are Based On Pigment Absorption, The Striking Iridescent And Intense Colouration Of Many Butterflies, Birds Or Beetles Stems From The Interaction Of Light With Periodic Sub-micrometer Surface Or Volume Patterns, So Called 'photonic Str8ctures'.
These 'structural Colours Are Increasingly Well Understood, But They Are Difficult To Create Artificially And Exploit Technologically.
In This Thesis The Field Of Natural Structural Colours And Biomimetic Photonic Structures Is Covered In A Wide Scope, Ranging From Plant Photonics To Theoretical Optics.
It Demonstrates Diffractive Elements On The Petal Surfaces Of Many Flowering Plant Species; These Regularity The Basis For The Study Of The Role Of Structural Colours In Pollinator Attraction.
Self-assembly Techniques, Combined With Scale Able Nanofabrication Methods, Were Used To Produce Complex Fictitious Photonic Structures Inspired By Those Found In World.
In Particular, The Colour Effect Of A Papilio Butterfly Was Mimicked And, Along Variatioj Of Its Design Motife, Enhanced.
All Photonic Effects Described Here Are Underpinned By State-of-the-art Model Calculations.
