自然界中最明亮、最鲜艳的颜色来自于光与在微米和纳米尺度上呈现周期性结构的表面的相互作用。例如，在蝴蝶的翅膀中，多层干涉、光栅、光子晶体和其他光学结构的组合产生了复杂的颜色混合。虽然结构色的物理学已经被很好地理解，但创造自然光子结构的人工复制品仍然是一个挑战（1-3）。在这里，我们使用层沉积技术的组合，包括胶体自组装，溅射和原子层沉积，制造光子结构，模仿印度尼西亚蝴蝶凤蝶的翅膀上发现的颜色混合效果。我们还表明，自然结构的概念变化导致增强的光学性能。与以前的方法相比，我们的方法提供了更高的效率，多功能性和可扩展性（4-6）。
The brightest and most vivid colours in nature arise from the interaction of light with surfaces that exhibit periodic structure on the micro- and nanoscale. In the wings of butterflies, for example, a combination of multilayer interference, optical gratings, photonic crystals and other optical structures gives rise to complex colour mixing. Although the physics of structural colours is well understood, it remains a challenge to create artificial replicas of natural photonic structures(1-3). Here we use a combination of layer deposition techniques, including colloidal self-assembly, sputtering and atomic layer deposition, to fabricate photonic structures that mimic the colour mixing effect found on the wings of the Indonesian butterfly Papilio blumei. We also show that a conceptual variation to the natural structure leads to enhanced optical properties. Our approach offers improved efficiency, versatility and scalability compared with previous approaches(4-6).
