ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a metallic transducer and a condenser for directing electromagnetic radiation onto the transducer. The transducer includes a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is wider than the second section and has a width to length aspect ratio greater than or equal to a width to length aspect ratio of the second section, the first section having a dimple formed on a surface thereof.
