Silicon Metamaterials Hold Promise for Photonic Circuits, Chips
As data transmission technology moves towards miniaturization, all-diaelectric, silicon-based metamaterials may offer the necessary control of light through achievement of total internal reflectance. Researchers from Purdue University seek to engineer total internal reflection in optical fibers surrounded by a transparent silicon metamaterial, which could enable computer chips and interconnecting circuits that use light instead of electrons to process and transmit data.

Wasp-Inspired Needle Could Advance Spectroscopy for Disease Detection
A robotic surgical system inspired by the anatomy of wood-boring wasps could be used in Raman spectroscopy to detect cancerous and diseased tissue. The prototype needle design is based on female parasitoid wasps, which use a bendable needle-like ovipositor to bore into wood to lay eggs in hiding host larvae.

Optical Nanomodulator Produces Truly Digital Signals
As data rates and volumes continue to rise, an optical modulator that operates at the individual-atom level could both reduce the size of and increase the efficiency of communication networks. Within these networks, components called modulators convert electrical signals into optical signals; effectively, these are fast electrical switches that turn a laser signal on or off at the frequency of the incoming electrical signal.

Label-Free Virus Detection Method Integrates Optical Microscope, Fiber
A label-free technique has demonstrated the ability to detect freely diffusing viruses smaller than 20 nm. Scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies (IPHT) have developed a label-free technique on a single-mode silica fiber with a core integrating a subwavelength (200-nm-diameter) nanofluidic channel.
