Abstract

Decreasing feature sizes due to advances in nanotechnology place a premium on careful treatment of phase, length, and time in optics. All three quantities are intermeshed due to morphology at the nanometer length-scale. Speculation of nanotechnology for optics as a PLT sandwich has emerged from examining the characteristics of the responses of sculptured thin films to optical pulses and beams.
