Laser cooling: Raman cooling in a semiconductor   pp566 - 567
Gaurav Bahl
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.142
The discovery that Raman scattering, with a little help from excitons, may be exploited to induce cooling of a solid-state material bodes well for new forms of optical refrigeration.

View from... UPCON 2016: Bright future for upconversion   pp567 - 569
Dayong Jin
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.160
The synthesis of more efficient upconversion nanomaterials that absorb multiple low-energy photons in the near-infrared and then re-emit in the visible or ultraviolet was a key theme at the first UPCON conference.

Guiding light via geometric phases   pp571 - 575
Sergei Slussarenko, Alessandro Alberucci, Chandroth P. Jisha, Bruno Piccirillo, Enrico Santamato et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.138
A mechanism for confining and guiding light that relies on spin–orbit interactions of light is presented.

Hologram of a single photon   pp576 - 579
Radosław Chrapkiewicz, Michał Jachura, Konrad Banaszek and Wojciech Wasilewski
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.129
The local amplitude and phase of a single photon is retrieved using a method similar to classical holography. The interference of optical fields is replaced by the non-classical interference of spatially varying two-photon probability amplitudes.

In vivo cellular-resolution retinal imaging in infants and children using an ultracompact handheld probe   pp580 - 584
Francesco LaRocca, Derek Nankivil, Theodore DuBose, Cynthia A. Toth, Sina Farsiu et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.141
A handheld probe enables retinal imaging in children.

Detection of gamma photons using solution-grown single crystals of hybrid lead halide perovskites   pp585 - 589
Sergii Yakunin, Dmitry N. Dirin, Yevhen Shynkarenko, Viktoriia Morad, Ihor Cherniukh et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.139
Cheap and sensitive gamma-ray detectors are desired for defence, medical and research applications. Solid-state gamma-radiation detectors made from solution-grown perovskites have now been demonstrated for multiple practical applications.

Multicolour localization microscopy by point-spread-function engineering   pp590 - 594
Yoav Shechtman, Lucien E. Weiss, Adam S. Backer, Maurice Y. Lee and W. E. Moerner
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.137
Multicolour tracking and super-resolution imaging is made possible by the use of a new design of optical phase mask.

Room-temperature continuous-wave electrically injected InGaN-based laser directly grown on Si   pp595 - 599
Yi Sun, Kun Zhou, Qian Sun, Jianping Liu, Meixin Feng et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.158
The fabrication of a blue–violet semiconductor laser on a silicon substrate enhances the integration of optoelectronics with electronics.

Resolved-sideband Raman cooling of an optical phonon in semiconductor materials   pp600 - 605
Jun Zhang, Qing Zhang, Xingzhi Wang, Leong Chuan Kwek and Qihua Xiong
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.122
Raman cooling and heating of a longitudinal optical phonon with a 6.23-THz frequency are observed in ZnTe nanobelts. The direction of the energy flow is changed by detuning the frequency of the pump laser.

High-resolution adaptive imaging of a single atom   pp606 - 610
J. D. Wong-Campos, K. G. Johnson, B. Neyenhuis, J. Mizrahi and C. Monroe
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.136
The position of a single Yb atomic ion is determined with a minimum uncertainty of 1.7 nm for 0.2 s integration time — the highest position sensitivity reported to date for an isolated atom.

Power conversion efficiency exceeding the Shockley–Queisser limit in a ferroelectric insulator   pp611 - 616
Jonathan E. Spanier, Vladimir M. Fridkin, Andrew M. Rappe, Andrew R. Akbashev, Alessia Polemi et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.143
The Shockley–Queisser limit for solar cells is overcome in the ferroelectric insulator BaTiO3.
