3 of 3 - Guiding Light w/Nanowires - A Rail for Light

In Part 3 of Guiding Light with Nanowires, Eric Mazur explains how nanofibers act like a "rail for light" - and how his work might lead to ultrafast computing in the future. Now available on DVD in the "Talking Nano" 6-disc set http://www.talkingnano.net

@Orientalistzt I think it was to do with the particle like properties of light (photons) but i dont know that much about optics.

Lighsabers Anyone??

But really I'm wondering how fragile these wires must be made from glass which is quite brittle, and also qualitiy control on an amorphous solid which might explain the light inconsistency at :12. ?

Interesting talk. I have 2 questions :

1- Since nanowire diameter is less then light wavelengh, how the light is guided and transported within it?

2- why there are discontinuities in the fiber picture at 0:12- very luminous points with intense reflection and darker points ? Is it due to imperfection in fiber material ? Thinks

Why do most of the other comments read like the poeple who posted them where smacked, wacked or just outright high?

Hi, ma'am!

This video clip was the most amazing of all...

I really learned a lot about Nanotech...

Whew!

BreathtakinG!!!

Thanx mam!!!....

...i like the video...

...it is educational,and you will learn many thing about light as you go over the video...

...it really helps the students in there lessons about light...
