摘要

A technique for making physically robust nanoscale optical components--precisely modeled on physiological structures of insects--has enabled researchers at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State; University Park, PA) to "pull the wings off of flies and butterflies," so to speak, in the form of chalcogenide glass replicas. The researchers expect their new technique to enable fabrication of (among many other things) novel optical-sensing and transmission devices with numerous industrial, medical, and security applications. "We were motivated by the simple fact that many structures have evolved in nature to display interesting and useful properties," said Akhlesh Lakhtakia, who collaborated with Raul Martin-Palma and Carlo Pantano to develop the technique. "The most appealing of these properties are optical, imparting either coloration and/or camouflage to the organism, and optical-imaging structures such as compound eyes or polarization-sensitive eyes are also attractive. If we could easily replicate these and other attractive features, we could exploit them for various techno-scientific purposes."
