Subwavelength holes in metal films are well known to offer extraordinary-light-transmission properties. Now a group of scientists in France have exploited such nanoholes to sort photons by colour.
Clearly we live in a visual age. Today, pictures generated from devices such as cameras, mobile phones, computers or television dominate modern communications.
