Abstract
Photonic structures are responsible for the vivid colors of many animals, and also serve as reflectors and filters in vision. Our recent work has explored the core–shell photonic nanostructures involved in the eyes of several decapod crustaceans, and motivates further research into exploiting spatial variation of birefringence in designing ultrathin reflecting photonic structures.
