Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with ICFO
and Graphenea, introduce a platform technology based on optical antennas for
trapping and controlling light with the one-atom-thick material graphene. The
experiments show that the dramatically squeezed graphene-guided light can be
focused and bent, following the fundamental principles of conventional optics.
The work, published yesterday in Science, opens new opportunities for smaller
and faster photonic devices and circuits.
