TL;DR: The current state-of-the-art of optical couplers for photonic integrated circuits is reviewed, aiming to give to the reader a comprehensive and broad view of the field, identifying advantages and disadvantages of each solution.

TL;DR: This paper presents a probabilistic procedure for estimating acoustic compressibility in the presence of low-frequency noise, and shows good results for both low and high-frequency compressibility experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a miniaturized single-fibre optical tweezer is used to create a purely optical three-dimensional trap using engineered fiber structures with microstructured end surfaces.

TL;DR: The results pave the way for a new class of optofluidic devices for single cell analysis, in which, taking advantage of the flexibility of femtosecond laser micromachining, it is possible to further integrate sensing and sorting functions.

TL;DR: The Roadmap is organized so as to put side by side contributions on different aspects of optical processing, aiming to enhance the cross-contamination of ideas between scientists working in three different fields of photonics: optical gates and logical units, high bit-rate signal processing and optical quantum computing.
