Scientists have proposed a novel scheme to enhance the local electric fields around nanostructures. The scheme is based on manipulation of the incident wave to allow the superposition of the electric fields of multiple beams of light to work as the excitation source for the electrons in the nanostructures, and larger electric fields are thus excited around the nanostructures.
