Controlling the properties of ultrafast light pulses is essential for sending information through high-speed optical circuits and in probing atoms and molecules. But the standard method of pulse shaping is costly, bulky and lacks the fine control scientists increasingly need. Now researchers have developed a novel and compact method of sculpting light with nanoscale precision.
