Fundamental optics: On-chip Casimir effect   pp73 - 74
Kimball A. Milton
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.277
Measurement of the forces that arise from quantum vacuum fluctuations between closely spaced surfaces typically requires large apparatus, making applications difficult. Now, an experiment on a silicon chip to measure the Casimir force has been realized.

Materials optics: Lighting up antiferromagnets   pp74 - 76
Peter M. Oppeneer
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.274
Weak coupling of light to the microscopic magnetic order in antiferromagnetic materials makes their optical characterization notoriously difficult. Now, a table-top magneto-optical technique has been developed for detecting the vector direction of antiparallel-aligned magnetic moments in a metallic antiferromagnet.

Laser writing of coherent colour centres in diamond   pp77 - 80
Yu-Chen Chen, Patrick S. Salter, Sebastian Knauer, Laiyi Weng, Angelo C. Frangeskou et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.234
A negatively charged nitrogen–vacancy centre — a promising quantum light source — is created in diamond by laser writing (with pulses with a central wavelength of 790 nm and duration of 300 fs) with an accuracy of 200 nm in the transverse plane.

Demonstration of a self-pulsing photonic crystal Fano laser   pp81 - 84
Yi Yu, Weiqi Xue, Elizaveta Semenova, Kresten Yvind and Jesper Mork
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.248
Fano interference and nonlinearity are exploited to achieve self-pulsing of a laser at gigahertz frequencies.

Solution-processed organic tandem solar cells with power conversion efficiencies >12%   pp85 - 90
Miaomiao Li, Ke Gao, Xiangjian Wan, Qian Zhang, Bin Kan et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.240
Careful selection of small-molecule materials provides solution-processed tandem organic solar cells with a boost in efficiency.

Optical determination of the Néel vector in a CuMnAs thin-film antiferromagnet   pp91 - 96
V. Saidl, P. NÄ›mec, P. Wadley, V. Hills, R. P. Campion et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.255
Due to their nature antiferromagnets are difficult to probe with conventional magnetometers. The Néel vector of a practically important antiferromagnet, CuMnAs, has now been determined by a femtosecond pump–probe magneto-optical experiment.

Measurement of non-monotonic Casimir forces between silicon nanostructures   pp97 - 101
L. Tang, M. Wang, C. Y. Ng, M. Nikolic, C. T. Chan et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.254
Previous demonstrations of the elusive Casimir force between interfaces exhibit monotonic dependence on surface displacement. Now a non-monotonic dependence of the force has been shown experimentally by exploting nanostructured surfaces.

Polarization domain walls in optical fibres as topological bits for data transmission   pp102 - 107
M. Gilles, P.-Y. Bony, J. Garnier, A. Picozzi, M. Guasoni et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.262
Localized polarization knots formed in conventional optical fibres are shown to be able to act as topological bits of information for optical data communication.

Efficient perovskite light-emitting diodes featuring nanometre-sized crystallites   pp108 - 115
Zhengguo Xiao, Ross A. Kerner, Lianfeng Zhao, Nhu L. Tran, Kyung Min Lee et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.269
Perovskite nanocrystal LEDs featuring long-chain ammonium cations offer improved stability and efficiency.

Scattering compensation by focus scanning holographic aberration probing (F-SHARP)   pp116 - 123
Ioannis N. Papadopoulos, Jean-Sébastien Jouhanneau, James F. A. Poulet and Benjamin Judkewitz
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.252
A non-invasive scattering compensation method, termed F-SHARP, gives direct access to the phase and amplitude of the electric-field point spread function, enabling fast and high-resolution correction of aberrations and scattering in living tissue.

A monolithic integrated photonic microwave filter   pp124 - 129
Javier S. Fandiño, Pascual Muñoz, David Doménech and José Capmany
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.233
A tunable photonic microwave filter is monolithically integrated in an InP chip. The filter includes all of the required elements — a laser, a modulator and a photodetector — and its response can be tuned by controlling the electric currents.

Three-dimensional all-dielectric photonic topological insulator   pp130 - 136
Alexey Slobozhanyuk, S. Hossein Mousavi, Xiang Ni, Daria Smirnova, Yuri S. Kivshar et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.253
The theoretical study of a 3D photonic topological metacrystal based on an all-dielectric metamaterial platform shows robust propagation of surface states along 2D domain walls, making it a promising solution for photonics applications. The proposed metacrystal design might also open the way for the observation of elusive fundamental physical phenomena.
