Wired 11.10: START On GlobalSpec

MIT is hacking light rays to boost fiber-optic bandwidth and t-ray technology. The simplest phenomena are sometimes the hardest to manipulate. Consider: Changing the wavelength of a ray of light - which consists of nothing more than massless photons - is a Herculean task. Even worse, it's tough to control exactly what frequency you end up with. A group of MIT photonics researchers may have found a much better way to tweak light, a physics watershed that could reshape industries from medicine to defense. The researchers, led by postdoctoral associate Evan Reed, start with a photonic crystal - a light-bending microstructure that guides beams through fiber-optic circuits. Ordinarily, such a
