TABLE OF CONTENTS August 2018 Volume 12, Issue 8 Editorial Books & Arts Research Highlights News & Views Review Articles Letters Articles Amendments & Corrections   Advertisement   Faster than the Fastest   HIGHFINESSE wavelength meters offer the highest precision and unmatched speed. They enable measurements with an unrivaled accuracy of 2 MHz, a 200 kHz resolution and up to 76 kHz acquisition speed, covering an extremely broad range of 192 nm to 11 μm. Solid state Fizeau interferometers achieve this ultimate performance which also supports pulsed lasers. Complex experiments with up to eight lasers can be stabilized, such as TOPTICA's tunable diode lasers.   Advertisement Do you have a career question?  The Naturejobs podcast features one-on-one Q&As, panel discussions and other exclusive content to help scientists with their careers.

Vampa, T. J. Hammond, M. Taucer, Xiaoyan Ding, X. Ropagnol et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0193-5 Near-infrared femtosecond laser pulses are sent to a Si or ZnO crystal to generate high-harmonic waves via static or transient field-induced optical nonlinearities. The beam profile of the high-harmonic emission is controlled by electronic methods.   Single-source chip-based frequency comb enabling extreme parallel data transmission    pp469 - 473 Hao Hu, Francesco Da Ros, Minhao Pu, Feihong Ye, Kasper Ingerslev et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0205-5 By seeding a non-resonant aluminium-gallium-arsenide-on-insulator nanowaveguide with 10-GHz picosecond pulses at a low pump power of 85 mW, a single energy-efficient frequency comb source carrying 661 Tbit s–1 of data, equivalent to more than the total Internet traffic today, is achieved.   Nonlinear charge oscillation driven by a single-cycle light field in an organic superconductor    pp474 - 478 Y. Kawakami, T. Amano, Y. Yoneyama, Y. Akamine, H. Itoh et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0194-4 A nonlinear charge oscillation driven by a 6 fs light field of 11 MV cm–1 is observed in a layered organic superconductor. The initial response time of the oscillation on the timescale of 10?fs clarifies that Coulomb repulsion is essential for the superconductivity.   A phonon laser operating at an exceptional point    pp479 - 484 Jing Zhang, Bo Peng, Sahin Kaya Özdemir, Kevin Pichler, Dmitry O. Krimer et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0213-5 Linewidth broadening of a phonon laser operated at an exceptional point of a compound optomechanical system is experimentally demonstrated.   Efficient light generation from enhanced inelastic electron tunnelling    pp485 - 488 Haoliang Qian, Su-Wen Hsu, Kargal Gurunatha, Conor T. Riley, Jie Zhao et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0216-2 Nanocrystals assembled into metal–insulator–metal junctions can boost the efficiency of light generation from enhanced inelastic tunnelling to ~2%, which is a two orders of magnitude improvement over previous work, paving the way to on-chip ultrafast and ultracompact light sources.   Articles   Relativistic single-cycle tunable infrared pulses generated from a tailored plasma density structure    pp489 - 494 Zan Nie, Chih-Hao Pai, Jianfei Hua, Chaojie Zhang, Yipeng Wu et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0190-8 A scheme for generating intense single-cycle pulses in the 5–14 μm wavelength range is proposed. The generation mechanism is described by photon frequency downshifting of an off-the-shelf Ti:sapphire laser in a tailored plasma density structure.   Amendments & Corrections   Publisher Correction: Control of semiconductor emitter frequency by increasing polariton momenta    p495 Yaniv Kurman, Nicholas Rivera, Thomas Christensen, Shai Tsesses, Meir Orenstein et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0214-4 Publisher Correction: Mid-infrared frequency comb via coherent dispersive wave generation in silicon nitride nanophotonic waveguides    p496 Hairun Guo, Clemens Herkommer, Adrien Billat, Davide Grassani, Chuankun Zhang et al. doi:10.1038/s41566-018-0218-0 Advertisement Nature Briefing is an essential round-up of science news, opinion and analysis, free in your inbox every weekday.
