Unique waveguide provides pinpoint control of light

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A tunnel-like device that channels light effectively into a point just a few nanometers across may lead to next-generation applications in computing, communications and imaging. Beams of light are fantastic carriers of data. They can carry more information more efficiently than the traditional electricity-copper wire route used for much of the modern era. Fiber optics has led the way in this regard, transmitting everything from high-definition television and the Internet to energy. For all of its strengths, light has a weakness when it comes to transmitting information: The smaller...Read full article
