METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GUIDING OPTICAL ENERGY

摘要

Embodiments herein provide an optical apparatus (100) for focusing and guiding optical energy. An optical apparatus includes a dielectric fiber(104), a group of metallic wires (102) embedded within the dielectric fiber, and a layer of metal (106) covering an outer surface of the dielectric fiber. The metallic wires may be organized in a converging/diverging manner to guide optical waves. Other embodiments may be disclosed and claimed.
