Structural colors: from natural to artificial systems
TL;DR: The fundamental physics of many natural structural colors displayed by living organisms as well as their bio-inspired artificial counterparts are reviewed, with emphasis on their connections, tunability strategies, and proposed applications, which aim to maximize the technological benefits one could derive from these photonic nanostructures.

Photonic structures in biology
Peter Vukusic,J. Roy Sambles +1 more
TL;DR: An astonishing variety of natural photonic structures exists: a species of Brittlestar uses photonic elements composed of calcite to collect light, Morpho butterflies use multiple layers of cuticle and air to produce their striking blue colour and some insects use arrays of elements to reduce reflectivity in their compound eyes.

TL;DR: A simple aperiodic array of silicon nanotips on a 6-inch wafer with a sub-wavelength structure that can suppress the reflection of light at a range of wavelengths from the ultraviolet, through the visible part of the spectrum, to the terahertz region is reported.

Reduction of Lens Reflexion by the “Moth Eye” Principle
P. B. Clapham,M. C. Hutley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Bernhard et al. proposed that the function of this structure might be to suppress reflexions by effectively proving a graded transition of refractive index between the air and the cornea.

Plasmonic nanoresonators for high-resolution colour filtering and spectral imaging
TL;DR: This article uses selective conversion between free-space waves and spatially confined modes in plasmonic nanoresonators formed by subwavelength metal-insulator-metal stack arrays to show that the transmission spectra through such arrays can be well controlled by using simple design rules, and high-efficiency colour filters capable of transmitting arbitrary colours can be achieved.

Structural colour printing using a magnetically tunable and lithographically fixable photonic crystal
Hyoki Kim,Jianping Ge,Junhoi Kim,Sung-Eun Choi,Hosuk Lee,Howon Lee,Wook Park,Yadong Yin,Sunghoon Kwon +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a maskless high-resolution patterning of structural colours is demonstrated using a new material called "M-Ink" which is tunable by magnetically changing the periodicity of the nanostructure and fixable by photochemically immobilizing those structures in a polymer network.
