| Nature Photonics || [http://www.nature.com/nphoton/journal/v11/n5/full/nphoton.2017.58.html Fast silicon photodiodes] || Interesting summary of photodiode technology and limitations. Can response time be increased without sacrificing sensitivity?
|-
| Nature Photonics || [http://www.nature.com/nphoton/journal/v11/n4/full/nphoton.2017.32.html Spatial beam self-cleaning in multimode fibres] || The Kerr effect caused by high intensity beams can result in more light coupling into the fundamental mode of a multi-mode fiber, causing minimal beam speckling at the output.
|-
| Science || [http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6340/837 Quantum sensing with arbitrary frequency resolution] || NV centers in diamond are used to detect the frequency of oscillating magnetic fields with submillihertz resolution.
|-
| Physical Review Letters || [https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.223605 Self-Similar Nanocavity Design with Ultrasmall Mode Volume for Single-Photon Nonlinearities] || By coupling light into a cavity with an extremely small mode volume, nonlinear optical effects can be observed with very small numbers of photons.
|-
| Physical Review Letters || [https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.243201 Ultrafast Magnetization of a Dense Molecular Gas with an Optical Centrifuge] || A new technique allows for magnetization of much denser gases than was previously possible.
|-
| Journal of Computational Physics || [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021999116306301 Constructing non-reflecting boundary conditions using summation-by-parts in time] || An alternate technique for constructing non-reflecting boundaries, supposedly simpler than current techniques such as perfectly-matched layers (PMLs).
|-
| Nature Communications || [https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15610 Harnessing speckle for a sub-femtometer resolved broadband wavemeter and laser stabilization] || They demonstrate speckle-pattern based wavemeter with about 1 MHz frequency resolution
|-
| Nature Communications || [https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15849?WT.feed_name=subjects_physical-chemistry Observing electron localization in dissociating H2+ molecule in real time] || They use pump-probe technique with CEP stabilized ~5 fs long pulses to probe dissociation dynamics of H2+ in femtosecond time scales
|-
| Journal of the Optical Society of America A || [https://www.osapublishing.org/abstract.cfm?uri=cleo_qels-2017-FTu3D.2&origin=search Raman-assisted broadband Kerr frequency comb generation in AlN-on-sapphire microresonators] || Four wave mixing is used in a AlN film to build a frequency comb spanning 1.2-2.2 um
|-
| Nature Communications || [https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms1984 Quantifying the magnetic nature of light emission] || Light emitted from Europium ions is decomposed into parts originating from electric dipole transitions and magnetic dipole transitions
|-
| Optics Express || [https://www.osapublishing.org/oe/fulltext.cfm?uri=oe-25-11-12935&id=367108 Straightforward method to measure optomechanically induced transparency] || Optomechanically induced transparency is demonstrated without the use of a homodyne field
