And is planar, therefore mass producible...

God knows when these might be available, but it shouldn't stop us getting excited :)

Enjoy...

Not too sure how applicable to SLR's it'll be though (feel free to get less excited now!)

Infact, reading up further... these are great news for dvd drives etc. Not much cop for photography at all... anti-climax time. :( More discouragements to follow :D

Maybe you are looking in the wrong place.

They might be off on a journey that will help with the design of higher resolution sensors where diffraction limits are probably one of the problems that the designers struggle against. It might also open up new opportunities in at the high magnification end of macro photography where diffraction limits also get in the way.
