Summary

Description
English: Reflectivity as a function of viewing angle from the sides of silvery fish.

Pterophyllum scalare (a) inset illustrates the distributed Bragg reflector of one optical type of guanine. The single-Type structure results in the decrease of the reflectivity to 50% at Brewster's angle. Clupea harengus (b) inset illustrates the 2-Type reflector and how this now maximizes the reflectivity over all viewing angles.

The plot uses the transfer matrix simulation procedure described in Jordan et al. [1]
