    Default optics

    What are some of the cutting edge technologies coming out of the field of optics? I really know next to nothing about this whole branch of physics but it seems very interesting.

    One thing that jumps out at me are metamaterials with negative indices of refraction. In fact, metamaterials appear to be rewriting the book on what we thought was possible with electromagnetism.

    Here's some more material on this.
    As for those whose curiosities fall along more fanciful lines, I suggest it's because they have more money than they know what to do with while not having had enough science and engineering to know what they're dealing with.
