Photonic structures in ordered, quasi-ordered or disordered forms have evolved across
many different animal and plant systems. They can produce complex and often functional …

In this paper, we propose a topology optimization method based on the covariance matrix
adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) as a method for solving multimodal structural …

We review progress in the development of photonic platforms for detecting gases. Unlike
sensors based on conventional refractive and diffractive optics, photonic sensors detect …

The concept of topology-optimized carpet cloaks is presented using level-set boundary
expressions. Specifically, these carpet cloaks are designed with the idea of minimizing the …

A new type of photonic crystal carbon fiber exhibits tunable structural colors upon exposure
to organic vapors. This novel sensing fiber is prepared by depositing hydro-gel …

The ability to sense and control liquid behavior is integral to applications in the
transportation of hazardous materials, chemical analysis, medical diagnostics, cosmetics …

This paper presents full modeling of the cross-section of a blue feather barb of Tarsiger
cyanurus and computed optical properties of the barb by means of finite element …
