Zusammenfassung:With increasing capability in precision nanofabrication techniques, awareness is growing of the potential applicationsfor metallic structures that can squeeze light into tight corners.Transformation optics is an invaluable tool for designing metamaterials. The same idea, it is now shown, could also prove to be a boon for nanoplasmonics.
