Cover Story: It is called the “white pollutant” and it represents one of the environmental plagues of our days. Plastics is everywhere. Most importantly, it is where it should not be: oceans, mountains, air. Replacing plastics in modern technologies requires a shift in the way we think of scenarios with which physics has long been familiar. Resonant cavities and emitters belong to one of the most science-fiction-named branches of physics: Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (C-QED), being the stage where technological breakthroughs become reality. The question is: can a C-QED framework be rethought in an eco-friendly way? In this study, we address such a challenge, envisioning solutions in which the compulsive demand for technological advancement meets the compelling yet silent demand of our planet for more respect.

We showed that the nonlinear Mach–Zehnder interferometer may be used not only for enhancing temporal contrast, as proposed earlier, but also for increasing pulse power due to efficient pulse compression. The interferometer introduces into the o...

Conventional dark-field digital holographic microscopy (DHM) techniques require the use of specialized optics, and, thus, obtaining dark-field images with high contrast has a high cost. Herein, we propose a DHM system that uses an interference-dark-f...
