DESCRIPTION:Diverse designs of naturally evolved nano-scale periodicity ar
 e known to generate optical functionality in the living world. While such 
 systems have clearly evolved for biological purposes\, they are increasing
 ly offering inspiration and design protocols for applied photonic technolo
 gies. This lecture will present both an overview of the knowledge base of 
 this emerging field of study\, as well as descriptions of several exciting
  recent discoveries that reflect natures optical expertise and design inge
 nuity.
