Sculpting the optical near field In generation of electromagnetic fields, light can be broken down into two components: far field, which we generally see and is caused by propagating waves, field. The presents nonpropagating component at subwavelength distance from source radiation. Probing however, also provide detailed, information about emitting source. Ginis et al. present a nanophotonic-based method for controlling manipulating near-field landscape. This approach provides possibility exploiting on-chip applications that would normally require bulky optics. Science , this issue p. 436
