Quantum mechanics: Thought experiments made real   pp76 - 77
Fernando Martín
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.325
Elegant experiments performed with X-rays and a double slit formed from molecular oxygen have finally made it possible to realize and test a long-standing and famous gedanken experiment in quantum mechanics.

Optoelectronics: The rise of the GeSn laser   pp78 - 79
Kevin P. Homewood and Manon A. Lourenço
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.1
The development of a group IV semiconductor laser that is CMOS-compatible represents a step towards the creation of fully integrated electronic and photonic circuitry.

Quantum storage of entangled telecom-wavelength photons in an erbium-doped optical fibre   pp83 - 87
Erhan Saglamyurek, Jeongwan Jin, Varun B. Verma, Matthew D. Shaw, Francesco Marsili et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.311
The authors report the storage and retrieval of entangled telecom-wavelength photons in an erbium-doped optical fibre.

Lasing in direct-bandgap GeSn alloy grown on Si   pp88 - 92
S. Wirths, R. Geiger, N. von den Driesch, G. Mussler, T. Stoica et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.321
Lasing is experimentally demonstrated in a direct bandgap GeSn alloy, grown directly onto Si(001). The authors observe a clear lasing threshold as well as linewidth narrowing at low temperatures.

A table-top ultrashort light source in the extreme ultraviolet for circular dichroism experiments   pp93 - 98
A. Ferré, C. Handschin, M. Dumergue, F. Burgy, A. Comby et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.314
A table-top source based on high-harmonic generation produces bright, coherent, quasi-circular pulses of extreme ultraviolet light for probing chiral molecules.

Generation of bright phase-matched circularly-polarized extreme ultraviolet high harmonics   pp99 - 105
Ofer Kfir, Patrik Grychtol, Emrah Turgut, Ronny Knut, Dmitriy Zusin et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.293
A table-top scheme generates the extreme ultraviolet light required for performing magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Electro-optics of perovskite solar cells   pp106 - 112
Qianqian Lin, Ardalan Armin, Ravi Chandra Raju Nagiri, Paul L. Burn and Paul Meredith
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.284
Measurements reveal the exciton binding energy, dielectric constant and refractive index of planar perovskite solar cells.

Swept confocally-aligned planar excitation (SCAPE) microscopy for high-speed volumetric imaging of behaving organisms   pp113 - 119
Matthew B. Bouchard, Venkatakaushik Voleti, César S. Mendes, Clay Lacefield, Wesley B. Grueber et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.323
A swept light-sheet microscopy scheme allows volumetric imaging of living samples at high speed.

Einstein–Bohr recoiling double-slit gedanken experiment performed at the molecular level   pp120 - 125
Xiao-Jing Liu, Quan Miao, Faris Gel'mukhanov, Minna Patanen, Oksana Travnikova et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.289
The authors observe electron interference using the Auger electron emitted from an O2 molecule ionized by a soft X-ray photon. The interference disappears when the location of the O+ can be determined from the final state observed.

Photoacoustically guided wavefront shaping for enhanced optical focusing in scattering media   pp126 - 132
Puxiang Lai, Lidai Wang, Jian Wei Tay and Lihong V. Wang
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.322
Nonlinear photoacoustic signals are used to ‘guide’ laser light to a tight focal spot in scattering media.

Deep-ultraviolet to mid-infrared supercontinuum generated in solid-core ZBLAN photonic crystal fibre   pp133 - 139
Xin Jiang, Nicolas Y. Joly, Martin A. Finger, Fehim Babic, Gordon K. L. Wong et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.320
A low-loss ZBLAN micro-structured fibre is used to generate a supercontinuum spanning from the UV to the mid-IR (200 nm–2,500 nm). The material has high resistance even after extended operation and can withstand large spectral power densities.
