Why isn't there more PR regarding LWLG's revolutionary technology? I just don't get it. Everyday, I find some article where some research scientist at some university is making a breakthrough in an area where LWLG should make an impact (at least I hope).
"Cloaking science or "transformation optics" as its more formally called has until now relied on exotic "metamaterials" to redirect light. However, a breakthrough from Purdue University has created a "tapered optical waveguide" that accomplishes the same behavior at a lower cost and without using exotic compounds.
The new cloak is not only cheaper, it also performs better -- it can cloak an area of up to 100 times the wavelengths of a laser, while previous designs only managed a few times the wavelengths. Additionally, where metamaterials could only cloak part of the spectrum, this design can cloak light from a variety of wavelengths"
"Hyperlenses, like this superb new one from Purdue, promise to revolutionize many fields of optics. Where typical materials bend light -- a phenomenon known as refraction -- they keep its original direct with respect to a perpendicular line from the surface. Hyperlenses, however, can actually have an index of refraction of less than 0, allowing the light to reverse direction. Cloaking devices take advantage of this behavior to curve light around objects.
The lenses could revolutionize optical computing, create super-microscopes able to image DNA, cloak objects, and much more."
