Natural near field coupled leaky-mode resonant anti-reflection structures: the setae of Cataglyphis bombycina
Leaky mode resonances of the setae of Cataglyphis bombycina are found to enhance the thermal emission of the animals by near field coupling to the chitinous exoskeleton. This is remarkable, as the setae are also an adaption to enhance the reflectivity in the visible wavelength range. Both effects ar...
