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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploring a biomimetic approach to developing photonic devices and structures, \u003cb\u003eBiomimetics in Photonics\u003c\/b\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured Topics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotonic structures in flowers, leaves and fruits and inorganic structures produced in aquatic environment by diatoms, sponges, and shells\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMechanisms for biomineralization and how natural structures can be synthetically modified or even used as templates for artificial photonic materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBiological photonic structures in beetles and butterflies and their bio-inspired applications, including anti-reflecting surfaces, iridescent viruses, light reflection, metallic effects, and infrared sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSuitable for researchers and graduate students, the book does more than describe how to extract good design from nature-\u003cb\u003eBiomimetics in Photonics\u003c\/b\u003e highlights natural design techniques in context, allowing for a more complete modeling picture.
