Chaotic photonic resonators

Microcavities enhance light-matter interactions through confinement and exhibit complex dynamics. Harnessing chaos in these systems can advance photonic technologies and fundamental research.

Announcements

  • Nature Reviews Physics invites research students and postdocs to write for us. We have two article types that are reserved for ECRs -- Journal Club and Tools of the Trade.

  • The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology celebrates 100 years of quantum mechanics, but also aims to foster a wider dialogue to explore how quantum science and society can benefit each other. With this Series, we highlight how quantum science interacts with society and invite physicists, engineers, educators, historians and other scholars to contribute to this discussion.

  • A Series that invites physicists, historians, sociologists, psychologists and other scholars to consider the following questions. How does physics work today? How did we end up with this system? How could we imagine physics in the future?

  • This ongoing collection brings together articles from Nature Reviews journals about how physicists can contribute to environmental sustainability – both by working on questions that have direct relevance to sustainability goals and understanding Earth’s climate, but also by changing the ways physicists work.

Latest Reviews & Analysis

    • Atomic force microscopy (AFM), first published in 1986, is now a workhorse of laboratories in physics and beyond. In this Viewpoint, seven scientists describe the variety of ways they use the technique and discuss how they’d like to see it develop in the future.

    • Because gallium nitride light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have made most of the visible spectrum available to LEDs, they have become the backbone of modern lighting applications. This Review examines three effects governing the physics of GaN-based LEDs: polarization fields, carrier localization and non-radiative defects.

    • Transparent conducting electrodes are a key performance and sustainability bottleneck in high-efficiency perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells. This Review examines how optical, electrical and interfacial losses in transparent conducting electrodes arise in tandem cells and outlines strategies to enable scalable, low-indium electrodes for next-generation devices.
