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 ...

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — Philips researchers are reporting significant progress in developing a new storage technology called near-field optical recording. The technology allows storage of up to 150 ...

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 ...

LetinAR, a Korea-based startup developing optical solutions for AR headsets and smartglasses, showed off a new implementation of their ‘pin mirror’ optical tech at Mobile World Congress (MWC) this ...

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 ...
