TL;DR: A comprehensive and updated picture of the field of hyperbolic metamaterials, from the foundations to the most recent progresses and future perspectives is provided in this article, where the topics discussed embrace theoretical aspects, practical realization and key challenges for applications such as imaging, spontaneous emission engineering, thermal, active and tunable hyperbola media.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of parametric devices down-converting the laser frequency to the mid-infrared (3-30 µm) based on non-oxide nonlinear optical crystals is reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview on the recent progress made in III-nitride nanowire optoelectronic devices, including light emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors, single photon sources, intraband devices, solar cells, and artificial photosynthesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art in sources of coherent, pulsed mid-IR radiation is reviewed, and the main part of the review is focused on midIR generation and amplification based on parametric frequency conversion, enabling highest midIR peak power pulses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the major contributions of nanoparticles to nanoscale temperature monitoring, modern "drug free" medicine and the application of nanomaterials to a new generation of opto-electronics integrated circuits.

TL;DR: A review of the contributions to dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) lasers can be found in this article, where both distributed feedback and photonics band edge lasing models are discussed for different experimental conditions.

TL;DR: This paper reports on and reviews the most recent progress on a fundamentally different approach to cell design and fabrication: that of Monolithically-Integrated Laterally-Arrayed Multi-Band gap (MILAMB) solar cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have examined the several cavity designs, various types of gain mediums and numerous types of dye cell geometries for obtaining the single longitudinal mode pulsed dye laser.

TL;DR: It is presented how longitudinal dispersion fluctuations, once considered detrimental, can now be exploited to alter the phase matching condition, and thus, enable fast control of a high power beam by few photons.
