It is interesting that there was a significant

just recently about light going through small holes. This experimenter
made a large number of small holes in a thin foil. The amount of
light that got through the foil was several times more than the
amount of light predicted by just the areas of the holes. It seems
that the light was funneled into the holes and expanded on the other
side. The holes were a few wavelength in diameter and the experimenter
made about a million of them.
Well, if he used a standard light source, that's not surprising. If, on
the other hand, he used fiber optic cables or laser beams, it is more
interesting.
