1. An electromagnetic radiation enhancement technique for producing locally increased irradiance or radiance distributions of said radiation at the output of an optical system, comprised of the following steps:

  • directing incoming electromagnetic radiation into the optical system, said system containing an input plane and an output plane;

    altering the incoming radiation within the input plane of the optical system by producing controlled modifications of phase delays and/or amplitude attenuations within localized regions of the radiation;

    further modifying the radiation within the optical system by producing controlled phase delays at localized regions of the electromagnetic radiation in at least one non-conjugate location with respect to the input plane; and

    directing the further modified electromagnetic radiation to produce interactions between locally enhanced radiation and objects or matter at the output of the optical system.
