Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that a specific class of oxide membranes can confine, or ‘squeeze,’ infrared light — a finding that holds promise for next generation infrared imaging technologies. The thin-film membranes confine infrared light far better than bulk crystals, which are the established technology for infrared light confinement.
