“…Biological strategies for light manipulation have already been successfully implemented in nanophotonic devices for applications in chemically selective vapor sensing, pH determination, infrared imaging, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based chemical analysis, and localized heating from infrared absorption (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). The rich and tunable optical signature of our hierarchical bioinspired diffraction-based photonic material platform could provide a basis for novel developments in biosensing (35)(36)(37), efficient light management in photovoltaic systems (38)(39)(40), enhanced light extraction and radiation profile shaping in lightemitting diodes (41)(42)(43), and optically variable devices in consumer product design and anticounterfeiting (44)(45)(46).…”

Recently, diffraction elements that reverse the color sequence normally observed in planar diffraction gratings have been found in the wing scales of the butterfly Pierella luna. Here, we describe the creation of an artificial photonic material mimicking this reverse color-order diffraction effect. The bioinspired system consists of ordered arrays of vertically oriented microdiffraction gratings. We present a detailed analysis and modeling of the coupling of diffraction resulting from individual structural components and demonstrate its strong dependence on the orientation of the individual miniature gratings. This photonic material could provide a basis for novel developments in biosensing, anticounterfeiting, and efficient light management in photovoltaic systems and light-emitting diodes.bioinspired optics | gratings | biophotonics T hree-dimensional photonic crystals (1-5), materials with twodimensional micro-or nanosized periodic morphologies (6-8), and one-dimensional multilayer configurations (9) have been identified as the primary cause of structural coloration in a wide variety of nonrelated biological organisms. In contrast, surfaceconfined diffraction elements for the separation of incident light into specific colors are less abundant in nature and have only been discovered in a handful of organisms (10), including a fossil polychaete (7), sea mouse Aphrodita sp. (6), and some flowering plants (11). Recently, diffraction elements that reverse the color sequence normally observed in planar diffraction gratings have been found in the scales of the butterfly Pierella luna (12).Inspired by this biological light manipulation strategy, we devised an artificial material morphology mimicking the butterfly's diffraction effect by creating periodic arrays of vertically oriented individual microdiffraction gratings. In addition to the butterflyinspired reverse color-order diffraction arising from each individual micrograting, the periodicity between the individual gratings causes diffraction on a different length scale, leading to complex intensity distributions in experimentally measured angularly resolved reflection spectra. An in-depth analysis of the observed diffraction phenomenon complemented by optical modeling revealed a strong dependence of the optical signature on the orientation of the gratings. Such an effect can only be seen because of the hierarchical nature of the superposed, orthogonal grating features. To further elucidate the role of the different structural components for the emerging reflection spectra, the initially vertically oriented individual microgratings were subjected to a tilt, resulting in a predictable change of the surface's optical signature.The dorsal side of the fore-and hind wings of P. luna males are dull brown in diffuse ambient illumination (Fig. 1A, Left). When exposed to directional illumination at grazing incidence, a coin-sized spot on each fore wing displays an angle-dependent color variation across the whole visible spectrum (Fig. 1A, Right). The color changes from re...

Abstract:Morpho butterflies are well-known for their iridescence originating from nanostructures in the scales of their wings. These optical active structures integrate three design principles leading to the wide angle reflection: alternating lamellae layers, "Christmas tree" like shape, and offsets between neighboring ridges. We study their individual effects rigorously by 2D FEM simulations of the nanostructures of the Morpho sulkowskyi butterfly and show how the reflection spectrum can be controlled by the design of the nanostructures. The width of the spectrum is broad (≈ 90 nm) for alternating lamellae layers (or "brunches") of the structure while the "Christmas tree" pattern together with a height offset between neighboring ridges reduces the directionality of the reflectance. Furthermore, we fabricated the simulated structures by e-beam lithography. The resulting samples mimicked all important optical features of the original Morpho butterfly scales and feature the intense blue iridescence with a wide angular range of reflection.

“…The colour reflectance response of Morpho wings also offers sensitivity to mid-wavelength infrared radiation. Thermally-induced reflectivity changes give rise to detectable visible-range colour shifts [127]. While these are interesting avenues of bioinspired exploitation, they appear to serve no discernable biological function to the animal itself, unlike for example, the humidity-induced colour change observed in Dynastes hercules beetles, that is providing new inspiration for humidity sensing applications [128][129][130].…”

Abstract:The science of light and colour manipulation continues to generate interest across a range of disciplines, from mainstream biology, across multiple physics-based fields, to optical engineering. Furthermore, the study of light production and manipulation is of significant value to a variety of industrial processes and commercial products. Among the several key methods by which colour is produced in the biological world, this review sets out to describe, in some detail, the specifics of the method involving photonics in animal and plant systems; namely, the mechanism commonly referred to as structural colour generation. Not only has this theme been a very rapidly growing area of physics-based interest, but also it is increasingly clear that the biological world is filled with highly evolved structural designs by which light and colour strongly influence behaviours and ecological functions.
