Abstract

String theory was developed to cope with problems not otherwise amenable to conventional methods. It was found that making certain correspondences enabled a solution, one well known correspondence is the ADS/CFT that enables the problem of one representation that can be carried out in another. In optics, certain problems such as reaching the concentration limit allowed by thermodynamics was not amenable to conventional optics techniques, one has to change the paradigm to use the language of radiative heat transfer to find the solution.
