1. 1. An Investigation of the Polarizing Properties and Structural Characteristics in theCuticles of the Scarab Beetles Chrysina gloriosa and Cetonia aurata

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Lía Fernández del Río; [2012]
   Keywords : Near-circular polarization; Large ellipticity; Mueller matrix; Spectroscopic ellipsometry; Scarab beetle; Scanning electron microscopy; modelling.;

   Abstract : Light reflected from the scarab beetles Cetonia aurata (C. aurata) and Chrysina gloriosa (C. gloriosa) has left-handed polarization. READ MORE

3. 2. An Investigation of the Polarization States of Light Reflected from Scarab Beetles of the Chrysina Genus

   University essay from Tillämpad optik

   Author : Lia Fernandez del Rio; [2011]
   Keywords : Near-circular polarization; Large ellipticity; Mueller matrix; Spectroscopic ellipsometry; Scarab beetle; Chrysina genus;

   Abstract : The polarization behaviour for six species of Scarab beetles from the Chrysina genus is investigated with Mueller Matrix Spectroscopic Ellipsometer (MMSE). The m41 element of the matrix, which is related to the circular polarization behaviour, is analysed. READ MORE

4. 3. Optical Studies and Micro-Structure Modeling of the Circular-Polarizing Scarab Beetles Cetonia aurata, Potosia cuprea, Liocola marmorata

   University essay from Tillämpad optik

   Author : Johan Gustafson; [2010]
   Keywords : Optical Studies; Micro-Structure Modeling; Circular-Polarizing; Cetonia aurata; Potosia cuprea; Liocola marmorata; Scarab beetles; RC2; Ellipsometry; Guldbaggar;

   Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis is to contribute to a fundamental understanding of polarizing phenomena in some scarab beetles. The aim is also to study the beetle structures as inspiration in fabrication of artificially sculptured films. READ MORE

5. 4. Optical Studies ofNano-Structures in the BeetleCetonia Aurata

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Rizwana Shamim; [2009]
   Keywords : Cetonia aurata; Mueller-matrix ellipsometry; Helicoidal structures; Left-handed circularly polarized light;

   Abstract :       The main objective of this thesis is to study the polarization effects of the beetle Cetonia aurata using Mueller-matrix ellipsometry. The outer shell of the beetle consists of complex microstructures which control the polarization of the reflected light. It has metallic appearance which originates from helicoidal structures.

6. 5. Mueller matrix ellipsometry on advanced nanostructures

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Roger Magnusson; [2008]
   Keywords : Ellipsometry; Jones formalism; Stokes formalism; Mueller formalism;

   Abstract : Ellipsometry is an optical technique used for studies of thin films and surfaces. The technique is based on measurement and analysis of the changes in the state of polarization that occur when polarized light is reflected on a sample surface. The multichannel Mueller matrix ellipsometer is a new system that is about to enter the commercial market. READ MORE
