[35]Confining light to 10 nanometers matching size of future lithography

   [36]Berkeley University has compressed light to 10 nanometers This
   will make possible smaller optical fibers, but it could lead to huge
   advances in the field of optical computing. Many researchers want to
   link electronics and optics, but light and matter make strange
   bedfellows, Oulton said, because their characteristic sizes are on
   vastly different scales. However, confining light can actually alter
   the fundamental interaction between light and matter. Ideally, optics
   researchers would like to cram light down to the size of electron
   wavelengths to force light and matter to cooperate.

     Oulton had been working on combining plasmonics and semiconductors,
     where these losses are even more pronounced, when he came up with
     an idea to achieve simultaneously strong confinement of the light
     and mitigate the losses. His theoretical "hybrid" optical fiber
     consists of a very thin semiconductor wire placed close to a smooth
     sheet of silver.
     "It's really a very simple geometry, and I was surprised that no
     one had come up with it before," Oulton said.
     Oulton ran computer simulations to test this idea. He found that
     not only could the light compress into spaces only tens of
     nanometers wide, but it could travel distances nearly 100 times
     greater in the simulation than by conventional surface plasmonics
     alone. Instead of the light moving down the center of the thin
     wire, as the wire approaches the metal sheet, light waves are
     trapped in the gap between them, the researchers found.

   Oulton believes the hybrid technique of confining light could have
   huge ramifications. It brings light closer to the scale of electrons'
   wavelengths, meaning that new links between optical and electronic
   communications might be possible.
   This idea could be an important step on the road to an optical
   computer, a machine where all electronics are replaced with optical
   parts, Oulton said. The construction of a compact optical transistor
   is currently a major stumbling block in the progress toward fully
   optical computing, and this technique for compacting light and linking
   plasmonics with semiconductors might help clear this hurdle, the
   researchers said.
