Very interesting - reminds me of superconductors. Some quantity which normally cannot be escaped (ie, everything has some amount of resistance, or the Q factor is a finite number) that under certain special conditions can actually hit its singularity. Special conditions which necessitate exotic new theory.<p>Also, call me cynical but it seems like the natural application is pulsed laser weapons. Now instead of spending infinity dollars on a portable megawatt laser that can gimbal to attack a target, you have a kilowatt laser that charges a waveguide until it has equivalent energy to the megawatt laser and then discharges it as necessary.
