Near-field optics operates on the principle that when light interacts with objects smaller than its wavelength, it can produce an evanescent wave that decays exponentially with distance but provides ...

Glass. Identify. Photograph. Document. Share. Activating those verbs is the value proposition of Swarovski’s new AX Visio electronic binocular, which gives birders an entire field guide literally at ...

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...

An optical recording technology in which the distance between the read/write head and the bit (spot, pit, etc.) is less than the diameter of the bit (wavelength of light). See Terastor. THIS ...
