Editorial: Get in touchDo you have a strong opinion or comment that you think would be valuable to share with the optics community? Then why not make use of our correspondence section. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp403-403 |
News and Views: Femtosecond combs: Simplified stabilizationFrequency combs are created by stabilizing the evolution of the carrier?envelope phase of a mode-locked laser. Researchers have now demonstrated a simplified method of creating frequency combs that enables trains of identical pulses to be easily produced. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp410-411 |
News and Views: Photonic crystal lasers: On-chip beam steeringA composite photonic crystal that allows on-chip control over the emission direction of a semiconductor laser diode looks set to benefit mobile projection displays, lasers printers and chip-to-chip optical communication. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp411-412 |
News and Views: Optical gratings: Nano-engineered lensesHigh-performance, ultracompact lenses are needed in the quest to miniaturize optical systems. It now seems that carefully engineered subwavelength gratings can function as almost perfect mirrors with custom-designed focusing properties. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp413-415 |
News and Views: Temporal cavity solitons: Buffering optical dataPackets of light persisting in a continuously driven nonlinear resonator in the time domain offer new possibilities not only for applications in all-optical storage, pulse reshaping and wavelength conversion, but also for fundamental experiments in nonlinear science. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp415-417 |
News and Views: Attosecond optics: Easing attosecond generationA new gating scheme based on polarization control and second-harmonic generation is greatly simplifying the production of isolated attosecond pulses. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp417-418 |
News and Views: View from... SPIE Photonics Europe 2010: Champion innovationsEurope has always been a hub of innovation for photonics, and this year's Photonics Europe conference has shown that young inventors are still coming up with great ideas for commercialization. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp418-420 |
Profile: Working togetherDeveloping new sensor technology requires knowledge from every area of science and engineering. Nadya Anscombe finds out how this is done at the National Centre for Sensor Research in Ireland. Nature Photonics, vol. 4 #7, pp426-427 |
