A recent salary survey conducted by SPIE indicates that optics professionals working in North America are likely to earn significantly more than those elsewhere.
Attosecond electron wave packets produced during the interaction between strong optical fields and atoms provide rich information about the quantum states of their parent ions, in the form of scattered electrons or emitted photons that have attosecond temporal resolution and ångström spatial resolution.
Luminescent solar concentrators have long been hampered by reabsorption losses. Nature Photonics spoke to Noel Giebink about how to circumvent this effect.
Optofluidics brings together light and liquids to provide technologies such as fluid waveguides, deformable lenses and microdroplet lasers. Nature Photonics spoke to Frances Ligler about the origins of the field and where it might be heading.
