I'm interested in the light propagation in natural photonic structures. I want to know how light goes from the inside to the outside of a bioluminescent organisms. I look at the structures that could influence the way light travels through the animal. This knowledge will help to make light emitting diodes more efficient and therefore more economic in terms of energy consumption.

How do animals influence light with their body parts and what can we learn from it to make lighting less energy consuming?
