SPP resonances are EM waves that exist in metal, have somewhat narrow (although engineerable) linewidths and are SUPER lossy and inefficient.  Also, since SPP waves obey the diffraction limit just like any other light wave, it is unclear how these researchers would use this phenomenon to do anything ground-breaking in terms of image resolution enhancement.  Using surface plasmons for this purpose is NOT a new idea, and has already been proven to be severely limited in application.  <br><br>Sorry to rain on the parade.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex G]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 4th 2009 5:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Researchers tapping into nanotechnology for sharper images]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/researchers-tapping-into-nanotechnology-for-sharper-images/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/researchers-tapping-into-nanotechnology-for-sharper-images/</guid><description><![CDATA[I gotta ask: Will this give me an image that is on par with or better than a film one?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eli Gundry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 4th 2009 7:40PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
