Conceitos Básicos
The author discusses the innovative use of nanotraps to boost light intensity in optical devices, addressing limitations faced by traditional light sources and resonators.
Resumo
Intense light beams are essential across various fields but are challenging to produce with conventional methods. Lasers can generate intense light by trapping it in an optical resonator, but limitations exist due to material properties. Schiattarella et al. present a novel approach in Nature that allows for increased light intensity up to 36,000 times by controlling the escape of light from a nanoresonator.
Estatísticas
