Nature Energy: Call for Papers

Launching in January 2016, Nature Energy is now open for submissions and inviting high-quality research from across the natural and social sciences. The journal will be dedicated to exploring all aspects of the on-going discussion of energy provision; from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies.

Submit your next research paper to the journal.

SESAME for science and peace   pp550 - 552
Chris Llewellyn Smith
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.157
SESAME is a 2.5 GeV third-generation light source under construction in Jordan. Commissioning will begin in the second half of next year, assuming the funding that is still needed can be found.

Metal optics: Visible light from inelastic tunnelling   pp555 - 556
Kasey J. Russell
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.155
Electrically driven antennas are ubiquitous at radio frequencies, but frequency generators cannot reach optical frequencies. Quantum shot noise from inelastic tunnelling may provide the solution.

Fibre optics: Turning the tables on nonlinearity   pp556 - 558
Stojan Radic
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.163
The discovery of a new nonlinear light propagation regime in optical fibres paves the way to spectrally brighter lasers and control of signal distortion in communication links.

Biophotonics: Cellular lasers   pp559 - 560
David McGloin
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.158
Turning living cells into miniature lasers offers new opportunities for cell labelling, tracking and sensing on a grand scale.

Miro Erkintalo
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.161
Methods of nonlinear time series analysis shed new light on the nature and predictability of extreme events.

Guidestar-assisted wavefront-shaping methods for focusing light into biological tissue   pp563 - 571
Roarke Horstmeyer, Haowen Ruan and Changhuei Yang
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.140
Optical scattering limits the ability to image or focus beneath one millimetre of tissue in biomedical optics. This Review summarizes recently developed 'guidestar' mechanisms that provide feedback for intra-tissue focusing.

Intracellular microlasers   pp572 - 576
Matjaž Humar and Seok Hyun Yun
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.129
Cells are transformed into self-contained, individual lasers with customizable emission properties via the injection of suitable fluorescent dyes and lipids or beads.

Ab initio quantum-enhanced optical phase estimation using real-time feedback control   pp577 - 581
Adriano A. Berni, Tobias Gehring, Bo M. Nielsen, Vitus Händchen, Matteo G. A. Paris & Ulrik L. Andersen
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.139
Using squeezed states of light combined with a real-time Bayesian adaptive estimation algorithm, deterministic phase estimation with a precision beyond the quantum shot noise limit is demonstrated without any prior knowledge of the phase's value.

Electrically driven optical antennas   pp582 - 586
Johannes Kern, René Kullock, Jord Prangsma, Monika Emmerling, Martin Kamp & Bert Hecht
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.141
Researchers demonstrate an electrically driven nanoscale transmitter based on the broadband quantum shot noise of electrons tunnelling across a feed gap.

Direct optical nanoscopy with axially localized detection   pp587 - 593
N. Bourg, C. Mayet, G. Dupuis, T. Barroca, P. Bon, S. Lécart, E. Fort & S. Lévêque-Fort
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.132
Researchers exploit direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy and dedicated detection of super-critical-angle fluorescence emission to enable direct optical nanoscopy with axially localized detection.

Mode-locked dark pulse Kerr combs in normal-dispersion microresonators   pp594 - 600
Xiaoxiao Xue, Yi Xuan, Yang Liu, Pei-Hsun Wang, Steven Chen, Jian Wang, Dan E. Leaird, Minghao Qi & Andrew M. Weiner
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.137
Dark pulse combs are formed in normal-dispersion microresonators with mode-interaction-assisted excitation, increasing freedom in microresonator design and potentially extending Kerr comb generation into the visible wavelength regime.

Plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer for solar energy conversion   pp601 - 607
Jiangtian Li, Scott K. Cushing, Fanke Meng, Tess R. Senty, Alan D. Bristow, Nianqiang Wu
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.142
Plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer is revealed and explored for solar energy harvesting from visible and near-infrared light.

Inverse four-wave mixing and self-parametric amplification in optical fibre   pp608 - 614
Sergei K. Turitsyn, Anastasia E. Bednyakova, Mikhail P. Fedoruk, Serguei B. Papernyi and Wallace R. L. Clements
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.150
Self-parametric amplification, a nonlinear optical effect, is observed in optical fibre and results in optical spectrum narrowing and stable propagation.

Boson sampling for molecular vibronic spectra   pp615 - 620
Joonsuk Huh, Gian Giacomo Guerreschi, Borja Peropadre, Jarrod R. McClean and Alán Aspuru-Guzik
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.153
A quantum simulation scheme is proposed for molecular vibronic spectra, a problem for which no efficient classical algorithm is currently known. The simulation is efficiently performed on a boson sampling machine simply by modifying the input state.
