Submission + - New material gives visible light an infinite wavelength
wazafoojitsu writes: Researchers from The Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) Institute and the University of Pennsylvania have fabricated a material which gives visible light a nearly infinite wavelength. With a specially built interferometer it was shown that light indeed propagates through the metamaterial with no significant change of phase, corresponding to an almost infinite wavelength. This new material may find applications in novel optical components or circuits and the design of more efficient leds.
The work will appear on 13 October in Nature Photonics (abstract). The paper is paywalled but the pdf is available.
