“…The results range from what is presented in [3] and up until present day, where it is possible to make a 3D rendered model of the wing's color appearance and reflection based on modeling of the structure of the wing [4]. On the Morpho type in general, excellent works have been published dating longer back, see, e.g., [5,6].…”

“…The validity of the assumption will be discussed in Section 3.G. The far-field radiance has for similar type of problems been calculated by transforming the equivalent surface current simulated over a unit structure using either periodic boundary conditions [18] or radiation boundary conditions [4] depending on the setup.…”

It has long been known that random height variations of a repeated nanoscale structure can give rise to smooth angular color variations instead of the well-known diffraction pattern experienced if no randomization is present. However, until now there have been few publications trying to explain this and similar phenomena taking outset in electromagnetic theory. This paper presents a method for analyzing farfield reflection from a surface constructed by translated instances of a given structure. Several examples of the effect of random translations are given.

“…1,20 Figure 2 (a) shows a photograph of a Morpho rhetenor, which gives off a bright metallic blue color. 21 Under a lowpower optical microscope, it can be observed that the back sides of the fore-and hind-wings are covered with tilted scales (Figure 2(b)). Closer optical inspection (Figure 2(c)) indicates that a single scale consists of seemingly parallel rows, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of a cross-section of a scale (Figure 2(d)) reveals that the rows themselves have complex nanostructures of ridges and lamellae.…”

Structural coloration has attracted great interest from scientists and engineers in recent years, owing to fascination with various brilliant examples displayed in nature as well as to promising applications of bio-inspired functional photonic structures and materials. Much research has been done to reveal and emulate the physical mechanisms that underlie the structural colors found in nature. In this article, we review the fundamental physics of many natural structural colors displayed by living organisms as well as their bio-inspired artificial counterparts, with emphasis on their connections, tunability strategies, and proposed applications, which aim to maximize the technological benefits one could derive from these photonic nanostructures.

“…Once this optical data is calculated, it can be used to generate the bidirectional reflectance distribution function [115] for an idealised the Morpho system, for which good experimental data exists [116]. This theory can then lead to remarkable graphical rendering of photo-realistic Morpho wings [117].…”

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.
