Bio-Improved Antireflection Nanostructures: Going Beyond the Moth Eye

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Antireflection nanostructures inspired by the moth eye are widely known to suppress Fresnel reflection for broadband and wide-angle illumination. However, the moth-eye principle can also be used for applications beyond antireflection for planar surfaces. Building upon nature’s design, we will demonstrate the application of this bio-inspired effect for self-cleaning, anti-glare window, non-reflective diffractive optics, and suppression of thin-film interference.
