May 27-29, 2016 | Zhenjiang, China  Register now!    Correspondence Top A new online tool for visualization of volumetric data   p69 Marcus Fantham and Clemens F. Kaminski doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.273 The merits of plasmonic desalination   p70 Jeffrey M. Gordon and Hui Tong Chua doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.1 See also: Correspondence by Zhou et al. Reply to 'The merits of plasmonic desalination'   pp70 - 71 Lin Zhou, Yingling Tan, Jingyang Wang, Weichao Xu, Ye Yuan et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.2 See also: Correspondence by Gordon & Chua Research Highlights Top Spectroscopy: Imaginary echoes | Optical materials: Tuning 2D | Photochemistry: Solar-driven reactor | Quantum optics: Single-atom-operated circulator | Nanophotonics: Plasmonic photoemission News and Views Top Fundamental optics: On-chip Casimir effect   pp73 - 74 Kimball A. Milton doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.277 Measurement of the forces that arise from quantum vacuum fluctuations between closely spaced surfaces typically requires large apparatus, making applications difficult. Now, an experiment on a silicon chip to measure the Casimir force has been realized. See also: Letter by Tang et al. Materials optics: Lighting up antiferromagnets   pp74 - 76 Peter M. Oppeneer doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.274 Weak coupling of light to the microscopic magnetic order in antiferromagnetic materials makes their optical characterization notoriously difficult. Now, a table-top magneto-optical technique has been developed for detecting the vector direction of antiparallel-aligned magnetic moments in a metallic antiferromagnet.

Demonstration of a self-pulsing photonic crystal Fano laser   pp81 - 84 Yi Yu, Weiqi Xue, Elizaveta Semenova, Kresten Yvind and Jesper Mork doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.248 Fano interference and nonlinearity are exploited to achieve self-pulsing of a laser at gigahertz frequencies. Solution-processed organic tandem solar cells with power conversion efficiencies >12%   pp85 - 90 Miaomiao Li, Ke Gao, Xiangjian Wan, Qian Zhang, Bin Kan et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.240 Careful selection of small-molecule materials provides solution-processed tandem organic solar cells with a boost in efficiency. Optical determination of the Néel vector in a CuMnAs thin-film antiferromagnet   pp91 - 96 V. Saidl, P. Němec, P. Wadley, V. Hills, R. P. Campion et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.255 Due to their nature antiferromagnets are difficult to probe with conventional magnetometers. The Néel vector of a practically important antiferromagnet, CuMnAs, has now been determined by a femtosecond pump–probe magneto-optical experiment. See also: News and Views by Oppeneer Measurement of non-monotonic Casimir forces between silicon nanostructures   pp97 - 101 L. Tang, M. Wang, C. Y. Ng, M. Nikolic, C. T. Chan et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.254 Previous demonstrations of the elusive Casimir force between interfaces exhibit monotonic dependence on surface displacement. Now a non-monotonic dependence of the force has been shown experimentally by exploting nanostructured surfaces.

Scattering compensation by focus scanning holographic aberration probing (F-SHARP)   pp116 - 123 Ioannis N. Papadopoulos, Jean-Sébastien Jouhanneau, James F. A. Poulet and Benjamin Judkewitz doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.252 A non-invasive scattering compensation method, termed F-SHARP, gives direct access to the phase and amplitude of the electric-field point spread function, enabling fast and high-resolution correction of aberrations and scattering in living tissue. A monolithic integrated photonic microwave filter   pp124 - 129 Javier S. Fandiño, Pascual Muñoz, David Doménech and José Capmany doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.233 A tunable photonic microwave filter is monolithically integrated in an InP chip. The filter includes all of the required elements — a laser, a modulator and a photodetector — and its response can be tuned by controlling the electric currents. Three-dimensional all-dielectric photonic topological insulator   pp130 - 136 Alexey Slobozhanyuk, S. Hossein Mousavi, Xiang Ni, Daria Smirnova, Yuri S. Kivshar et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.253 The theoretical study of a 3D photonic topological metacrystal based on an all-dielectric metamaterial platform shows robust propagation of surface states along 2D domain walls, making it a promising solution for photonics applications. The proposed metacrystal design might also open the way for the observation of elusive fundamental physical phenomena.
