Experimental realization of optical lumped nanocircuits at infrared wavelengths
Lumped elements such as resistors, capacitors and inductors play a crucial role in electronic circuits. Now, inspired by metamaterials technology, the experimental realization of lumped circuit elements for optical frequencies provides a standardized platform for applications such as mixing and multiplexing of optical signals.

Infrared-spectroscopic nanoimaging with a thermal source
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a widely used spectroscopic technique, particularly for infrared wavelengths. However, for imaging applications the spatial resolution of FTIR spectrometers is restricted by the diffraction limit. The use of an FTIR spectrometer to pick up the low signal from scanning near-field optical microscopy employing thermal radiation now enables infrared imaging with nanoscale resolution.
