A New System Manipulates Light

Caption

PlaCSH has a layer of light-emitting material about 100 nanometers thick that is placed inside a cavity with one surface made of a thin metal film (shown at left.) The other cavity surface is made of a metal mesh (center) with incredibly small dimensions: it is 15 nanometers thick; and each wire is about 20 nanometers in width and 200 nanometers apart from center to center. An image of the experimental LED is shown at right.
