PERFECT MIRRORS
Developed by MIT researchers, "perfect mirror" technology is being used to
shoot a laser through a spaghetti-thin, flexible fiber -- called OmniGuide
fiber -- to attack tumors and other diseased tissue in highly targeted,
minimally invasive surgery. This new kind of mirror can reflect light from
all angles and polarizations, just like metallic mirrors, but does so with
much higher efficiency.

OmniGuide fiber, licensed through MIT's Technology Licensing Office, scored
a world first at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston last October when
it was used to shrink a patient's cancerous lung tumor by 90% percent.

"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first-ever FDA clearance for
photonic bandgap technology in a surgical system," said Yoel Fink, associate
professor of materials science and engineering, who helped develop the perfect
mirror as an MIT graduate student.
