EDITORIAL
Cautious Optimism Is Driving Europe-APAC Trade Relations Global economies and trade have found themselves in flux in the wake of changes in leadership in some countries as well as the U.K.’s exit from the European Union. The potential impacts of each have yet to be fully realized; however, strengthened alliances and economic development are bolstering trade relations between European and Asia-Pacific nations, offering optimism that collaboration...

Plasmonic Nanolaser Opens the Way for Coherent On-Chip Light Sources Using “dark lattice modes” researchers at Aalto University have created a plasmonic nanolaser that operates at visible light frequencies. The laser works at length scales 1000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. The results open new prospects for on-chip coherent light sources, such as lasers, that are extremely small and ultrafast. A major challenge in achieving lasing...

Making Fire Damage Assessment Concrete Concrete, fire and lasers generally don’t go hand in hand. But suppose there was a way to incorporate all three — specifically, in a laser that could detect and assess fire damage on concrete. Researchers at the University of Nottingham in England and its overseas campus, the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China (UNNC), are firing laser scanners at concrete bricks, some of which...
EPIC INSIGHTS
Solving the PIC Packaging Dilemma Since the European Commission identified photonics as one of the drivers of the industrial transformation of Europe, significant investments have been earmarked for advancing photonic integrated circuits (PICs). In this context, the region has witnessed the rapid growth of highly innovative PIC-based solutions for a wide range of applications and markets. Yet much of this activity has focused on...
