Structural Origin of Circularly Polarized Iridescence in Jeweled Beetles

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The study of photonics in nature contains beautiful and diverse examples of sub-wavelength structural features that create observed colors through thin layered or multilayered interference, diffraction, zero order diffraction and light scattering. In this talk I will discuss one such example: Beetles which attracted the attention of great scientists including Newton, Rayleigh, Michelson and Raman, among others.
