Electromagnetic field for a light mode travelling through an all-dielectric coaxial cable. The cable's inner and outer walls are made of omnidirectionally-reflecting multilayer films. Such structures mimic important properties of traditional, metallic coaxial cables, but without their high absorption losses at optical wavelengths. This new all-dielectric cable design successfully bridges, for the ...
