Now, research may point to links between them. See also: Letter by Liao & Ahrens Silicon nanophotonics: Good vibrations for light   pp144 - 146 Luc Thévenaz doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.28 Large light–sound interaction in nanoscale silicon wires is experimentally demonstrated, making integrated nonlinear optical devices a reality. See also: Article by Van Laer et al. Optoelectronics: Semiconductor tube laser rolls out   p146 Noriaki Horiuchi doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.25 Sensors: Mapping terahertz waves   pp147 - 148 Saverio Bartalini and Paolo De Natale doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.27 A fibre probe that relies on frequency mixing in a nonlinear crystal provides an all-optical scheme for mapping the amplitude and phase of terahertz fields. Nonlinear optics: Metamaterial quasi-phase matching   pp148 - 150 Thomas Lepetit and Boubacar Kante doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.30 The introduction of periodic inversion in the geometry of a plasmonic metasurface markedly boosts the efficiency of nonlinear processes in ultracompact structures.

A. Shore doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.326 Letters Top Provably secure and practical quantum key distribution over 307 km of optical fibre   pp163 - 168 Boris Korzh, Charles Ci Wen Lim, Raphael Houlmann, Nicolas Gisin, Ming Jun Li et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.327 A discrete-variable quantum key distribution system that is capable of distributing a provably-secure cryptographic key over 307 kilometres is demonstrated at a telecom wavelength. Gravitational and relativistic deflection of X-ray superradiance   pp169 - 173 Wen-Te Liao and Sven Ahrens doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.7 A theoretical proposal for time-dependent deflection of X-rays by gravitational and relativistic effects may lead to a table-top technique for probing gravity and relativity.

Controlling light with metamaterial-based nonlinear photonic crystals   pp180 - 184 Nadav Segal, Shay Keren-Zur, Netta Hendler and Tal Ellenbogen doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.17 Nonlinearity engineering is demonstrated by the construction of metamaterial-based photonic crystals. Nonlinear emission and diffraction are controlled and intense focusing is reported.

To this end, the behaviour of the blackbody radiation—a major perturbation for optical lattice clocks—was directly investigated. Articles Top High-performance multiple-donor bulk heterojunction solar cells   pp190 - 198 Yang (Michael) Yang, Wei Chen, Letian Dou, Wei-Hsuan Chang, Hsin-Sheng Duan et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.9 The use of carefully selected multiple donor polymers is shown to improve the performance of polymer solar cells. Interaction between light and highly confined hypersound in a silicon photonic nanowire   pp199 - 203 Raphaël Van Laer, Bart Kuyken, Dries Van Thourhout and Roel Baets doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.11 The authors experimentally and theoretically demonstrate stimulated Brillouin scattering in a silicon nanowire supported by a pillar, which results from the tight confinement of both photons and phonons.
