2023 Nobel Prize in Physics

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter“. To celebrate the prize, Springer-Nature has created a collection of seminal papers and relevant content from nature.com.

Light Talk

This collection brings together in one place the Question & Answer interviews that Nature Photonics has conducted with leading figures in photonics over the years.

Pioneers in Photonics

With this collection of obituaries, we celebrate the great scientists that helped shape modern day photonics.

Photonic solutions help fight climate crisis

The mitigation of climate change requires major transformations in the ways we generate energy and operate technologies that release carbon dioxide. Photonic concepts and novel light-driven technologies provide many potential solutions, transforming our current modes of energy use into more effective and sustainable ones.

Free-form dual-comb spectroscopy for compressive sensing and imaging

By incorporating time-programmable frequency combs, free-form dual-comb spectroscopy enables compressive sensing at factors of up to 155, with a corresponding reduction in acquisition time without sacrificing spectral resolution.

Ultrafast switching of trions in 2D materials by terahertz photons

Using short pulses in the terahertz spectral range following optical injection, ultrafast excitation of trions to excitons and free carriers in monolayer MoSe2 can be realized within picoseconds, advancing nanoscale optoelectronics devices.
