Abstract
An optical structure having enhanced optical properties, the optical structure comprising a bulk homogenous substrate that is surface modified so as to provide the enhanced optical properties. Surface modification of the bulk homogenous substrate can comprise removing portions of the bulk homogenous substrate to provide nanostructure elements at the surface, thereby providing an improved optical structure formed of a homogenous material. Methods for enhancing the optical properties of a bulk homogenous substrate include surface modifying the bulk homogenous substrate to provide an optical structure formed of a homogenous material, the optical structure having enhanced optical properties compared to the unmodified bulk homogenous material.
