Study of Long Range Correlations in Biophotonic Architectures

Abstract

The complex spatial arrangements that are found as biophotonic architectures on a termite wing membrane have been observed to scatter a coherent laser beam in a complex manner. This particular behavior has been explored experimentally and numerically in the form of a multivariate analysis with particular sets of variables and an explanation for such behavior with theoretical validation has been presented. A literature survey of closely related topics and some areas of applications have also been highlighted.
