In this Review, Fano resonance is explored in the context of optics, with particular emphasis on dielectric nanostructures and metasurfaces.   Letters Top Unidirectional photonic wire laser   pp555 - 559 Ali Khalatpour, John L. Reno, Nazir P. Kherani and Qing Hu doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.129 A unidirectional photonic wire laser has been developed by integrating reflectors into terahertz quantum cascade lasers. The transverse dimension is much smaller than the lasing wavelength (80 µm). A record wall-plug power efficiency of 1% is achieved.   Counter-propagating solitons in microresonators   pp560 - 564 Qi-Fan Yang, Xu Yi, Ki Youl Yang and Kerry Vahala doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.117 Counter-propagating solitons are generated in microresonator systems, producing dual-soliton frequency-comb streams with different repetition rates but high relative coherence useful for spectroscopy and laser ranging systems.
