New way to funnel light could have infrared applications

(PhysOrg.com) — Taking light control to a new level, scientists have proposed a technique for confining light into an area just 1/500th the size of the light’s wavelength. Since funneling light through such tiny spaces enhances the optical fields and increases the light’s transmission, it could lead to a variety of new optical applications.
