“…This phenomenon arises in biological organisms, the integuments of which contain so-called fluorophores [ 55 , 56 ]. Examples include birds [ 44 , 57 , 58 , 59 ], insects [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ], arachnids [ 72 , 73 ], mammals [ 74 ], amphibians [ 75 , 76 ], reptiles [ 77 ], marine animals [ 78 , 79 ], and plants [ 80 , 81 ] ( Figure 2 ). These molecules emit longer-wavelength light (typically, visible photons) following the absorption of incident shorter-wavelength light (typically, UV, violet or blue photons).…”

Nano-optics explores linear and nonlinear phenomena at the nanoscale to advance fundamental knowledge about materials and their interaction with light in the classical and quantum domains in order to develop new photonics-based technologies. In this perspective article, we review recent progress regarding the application of nonlinear optical methods to reveal the links between photonic structures and functions of natural photonic geometries. Furthermore, nonlinear optics offers a way to unveil and exploit the complexity of the natural world for developing new materials and technologies for the generation, detection, manipulation, and storage of light at the nanoscale, as well as sensing, metrology, and communication.
