TABLE OF CONTENTS November 2015 Volume 9, Issue 11 Editorials Commentary Research Highlights News and Views Letters Articles Addendum Subscribe   Facebook   RSS   Recommend to library   Twitter   Advertisement 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.     Editorials Top Giant photodetector arrays underpin Nobel success   p703 doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.224 A solar checklist   p703 doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.233 Commentary Top Analog optical computing   pp704 - 706 Daniel R. Solli and Bahram Jalali doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.208 The concept of optical computing is reintroduced with an important new twist — optical computing not as a digital machine, but as an analog engine able to serve as a hardware accelerator for existing electronic computers. Research Highlights Top Optical communications: Underwater link | High-harmonic generation: Vacuum effect | X-ray photonics: Atomic laser | Microwave technology: Diamond maser | Quantum communications: Long-distance teleportation News and Views Top Metasurfaces: Simultaneous Stokes parameters   pp709 - 710 Thomas Lepetit and Boubacar Kanté doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.211 Techniques for determining Stokes parameters, which fully define the polarization state of a wave, require multiple measurements, thus potentially leading to inaccuracies. Researchers now show how to simultaneously determine the parameters for visible light using periodic metal structures. Nonlinear optics: Twisted high-harmonic generation   pp710 - 712 Kjeld S. E. Eikema doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.204 Crossing two focused laser beams with opposite circular polarization makes the production and application of circularly polarized light in the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray spectral regions considerably easier and more efficient. See also: Article by Hickstein et al. Optical memory: Phase-change memory   pp712 - 714 Eiichi Kuramochi and Masaya Notomi doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.212 Integrated nano-optical memories may help overcome the limitations of communication speeds and energy costs in electronic chips. Now, using nanoscale phase-change materials researchers have realized the first multi-bit all-optical non-volatile memories with a very small footprint. See also: Letter by Ríos et al. View from... IRMMW-THz: Strength in diversity   pp714 - 716 Noriaki Horiuchi doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.210 Next-generation wireless communication, high-harmonic generation of sub-cycle pulses and ultrafast probing of the excitation dynamics of materials were all topics of discussion at this year's IRMMW-THz conference in Hong Kong. Metamaterials: Skinny cloak   p716 David Pile doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.215 Photonics JOBS of the week CNI Postdoctoral Research Scientist Columbia University PhD Studentship in Graphene / 2D Materials at the Graphene NOWNANO CDT The University of Manchester Assistant Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering Rice University More Science jobs from Photonics EVENT SPIE Photonics Europe 2016 04.04.16 Brussels, Belgium More science events from Letters Top Frequency-division multiplexing in the terahertz range using a leaky-wave antenna   pp717 - 720 Nicholas J. Karl, Robert W. McKinney, Yasuaki Monnai, Rajind Mendis & Daniel M. Mittleman doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.176 Using a leaky-wave antenna, free-space-to-waveguide frequency-division multiplexing and demultiplexing are demonstrated in the terahertz range. Both the frequency and the spectral bandwidth of multiplexed channels can be independently controlled. High-power sub-two-cycle mid-infrared pulses at 100 MHz repetition rate   pp721 - 724 I. Pupeza, D. Sánchez, J. Zhang, N. Lilienfein, M. Seidel, N. Karpowicz, T. Paasch-Colberg, I. Znakovskaya, M. Pescher, W. Schweinberger, V. Pervak, E. Fill, O. Pronin, Z. Wei, F. Krausz, A. Apolonski & J. Biegert doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.179 A compact source that generates sub-two-cycle-duration pulses with an average power of 0.1 W spanning 6.8–16.4 µm combines the properties of power scalability, high repetition rate and phase coherence for the first time in this spectral region. Integrated all-photonic non-volatile multi-level memory   pp725 - 732 Carlos Ríos, Matthias Stegmaier, Peiman Hosseini, Di Wang, Torsten Scherer, C. David Wright, Harish Bhaskaran & Wolfram H. P. Pernice doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.182 Researchers use phase-change materials to demonstrate an integrated optical memory with 13.4 pJ switching energy.

Articles Top On-chip zero-index metamaterials   pp738 - 742 Yang Li, Shota Kita, Philip Muñoz, Orad Reshef, Daryl I. Vulis, Mei Yin, Marko Loncar & Eric Mazur doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.198 Most metamaterial experiments occur in bulk transmission geometries.

Dorney, Andreas Becker, Agnieszka Jaron-Becker, Henry C. Kapteyn, Margaret M. Murnane & Charles G. Durfee doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.181 Scientists have demonstrated non-collinear circularly polarized high-harmonic generation and showed that this method generates bright circularly polarized extreme-ultraviolet beams with both left and right helicity simultaneously.

Enhanced light extraction from organic light-emitting devices using a sub-anode grid   pp758 - 763 Yue Qu, Michael Slootsky and Stephen R. Forrest doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.194 A diffractive dielectric grid placed between the anode and substrate of an organic light-emitting device is found to significantly enhance the extraction of light. Undoing the effect of loss on quantum entanglement   pp764 - 768 Alexander E. Ulanov, Ilya A. Fedorov, Anastasia A. Pushkina, Yury V. Kurochkin, Timothy C. Ralph & A. I. Lvovsky doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.195 A protocol to recover states of optical continuous-variable entanglement is developed based on approximate heralded noiseless amplification. The degraded entanglement is completely recovered no matter how significant these losses are. Addendum Top Addendum: Direct optical nanoscopy with axially localized detection   p769 N. Bourg, C.
