Calculation of Reflection Spectrum with Actual Layer Thickness Profile in Nacre of Akoya Pearl Oyster
2017
Journal of Physics, Conference Series
Preserved Fulltext
Pearls have beautiful color and luster which are caused by the interference of light within a multilayer in nacre. The nacre is composed of submicron aragonite layers and nanoscale organic sheets of chitin. The value of a pearl is determined by its size, color, and luster. To improve the quality of cultured pearls, we investigate reflection properties and layer thickness profiles in pieces of nacre of Akoya pearl oyster. SEM images show us how large the thickness variation of the nacre of Akoya
