Parametric Studies on Artificial Morpho Butterfly Wing Scales for Optical Device Applications

We calculated diffraction efficiencies of grating structures inspired by Morpho butterfly wings by using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis method. The geometrical effects, such as grating width, period, thickness, and material index, were investigated in order to obtain better optical performance. Cl...
