ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for focusing electromagnetic radiation comprises a planar solid immersion mirror including edges for reflecting an electromagnetic wave toward a focal point adjacent to a truncated end of the planar solid immersion mirror, and an interface for diverting a portion of the electromagnetic wave from a central portion of the planar solid immersion mirror to the edges for subsequent reflection toward the focal point.
