Editorial: Understanding artworkGiven that an article can't be published until any artwork issues are resolved, it makes sense to get it right first time and avoid delays. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #9, pp579-579 |
News and Views: Optical communications: Modulation at femtojoule scalePhotonic crystal nanocavities can strongly enhance the interaction between light and matter. Researchers have now demonstrated high-speed signal generation and all-optical switching with energies in the femtojoule and sub-femtojoule regime. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #9, pp583-584 |
News and Views: Quantum optics: The quest for higher dimensionalityUsing a clever design of polarization optic, Italian researchers have successfully created four-level 'ququart' quantum states using the polarization and orbital angular momentum of single photons. This approach may help to realize more effective forms of quantum communication. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #9, pp585-586 |
News and Views: Biophotonics: A light to move the heartAn infrared laser pacemaker that can optically synchronize the beat of an embryonic heart shows great promise for developmental biology, and perhaps ultimately for use as a pacemaker in humans. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #9, pp587-589 |
News and Views: X-ray science: X-ray FEL shines brightlyThe Linac Coherent Light Source at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the USA is producing coherent soft and hard X-rays at a brightness nearly ten orders of magnitude larger than synchrotron sources, heralding a new era in ultrafast science. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #9, pp589-591 |
News and Views: View from... Nonlinear photonics 2010: Revisiting solitonsThe study of dissipative solitons is not only increasing our understanding of nonlinear systems but may also help develop high-performance short-pulse lasers and devices for optical information processing. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #9, pp591-592 |
Profile: Concentrating on the futureThe concentrator photovoltaics market is becoming increasingly crowded. Nadya Anscombe finds out what makes German company Concentrix Solar stand out from the crowd. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #9, pp599-600 |
