Light extraction: what we can learn from fireflies

Research output: Contribution in Book/Catalog/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Fireflies lighten up our warm summer evenings. There is more physic behind these little animals than anyone of us could imagine. In this paper we analyze from a physical point of view one structure found on the firefly lantern, the one which best improves light extraction. Moreover, simulations will be done to show why this specific structure may be more effective than a "human-thought" one.
