Guiding a one-dimensional nanometer- diameter optical beam

Abstract

The thinnest limit of the diameter of a light beam propagating in a dielectric waveguide is of the order of the wavelength in free space. This fact makes high-density integration of optical devices difficult. If there is any way to decrease the beam diameter without any limitation by wavelength, it will make a great contribution to realization of the high-density integration of optical devices as well as of high-spatial-resolution optical heads.
