What is Tailored Disorder in Photonics: Learning from Nature about?
Through natural selection, optimally designed nano-and microstructures have arisen for tailored light-matter interactions, even despite a rather limited repertory of materials. [3] Hierarchy is a major reason for the multifunctionality of natural materials such as feathers, which keep the birds body warm and make it water repellant, create wings and tails for aerodynamic lift during flying, and furthermore, provide coloration for camouflage as well as for intraspecific sexual communication. [3][4][5][6][7][8] In comparison, mankind just very recently developed fabrication technologies, which can be separated into bottom-up and top-down approaches. In bottom-up approaches, small building blocks (e.g., nanoparticles or molecules) are organized using self-assembly strategies. Bottom-up approaches are scalable and, hence, are suitable for mass fabrication. However, self-assembly always faces the unavoidable risk of introducing unwanted defects (e.g., stacking faults, missing particles), as these processes are not fully controllable. Top-down processes on the other hand allow for full control (within the limits of the precision of the technique). Here, different techniques have been dev
