Attosecond metrology: Optical waveform reconstruction   pp333 - 335 Pascal Salières doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.80 The direct measurement of few-cycle optical waveforms with arbitrary polarization and weak intensity is now made possible thanks to extreme ultraviolet interferometry with isolated attosecond pulses.

Imaging: Retina-like single-pixel camera   p335 Oliver Graydon doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.87 Plasmonics: Femtosecond polarization switching   pp336 - 337 Dongfang Li doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.77 High-speed control of polarization may lead to ultrafast modulators and help explore polarization-dependent ultrafast dynamics in matter. Now, femtosecond polarization switching is realized through intraband optical excitation in an ultrathin semiconductor layer. See also: Article by Yang et al. Scattering media: A channel of perfect transmission   pp337 - 339 Patrick Sebbah doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.78 New theoretical analysis predicts that the introduction of a carefully designed gain and loss profile into a scattering medium could enable the unperturbed flow of light with constant, uniform intensity.
