Some of you might find interesting the articles in the section about Organic photonics. Also, for some of us - "quantum computer geeks"- the article in the quantum optics section about the control of the phase in a single-photon wavepacket might be interesting as well. -A ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nature Photonics Alert &lt;Nature_Photonics(a)ealert.nature.com&gt; Date: Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 6:43 AM Subject: Nature Photonics contents August 2009 Volume 3 Number 8 pp421-484 To: aleperd(a)gmail.com [image: Nature Photonics]<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=3&m=33762454&r=… *TABLE OF CONTENTS* ------------------------------ August 2009 Volume 3, Issue 8 <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=148&m=33762454&r=MTc2NjIyNjI5NgS2&b=0&j=NTQ1MzgxMzQS1&mt=1&rt=0> Editorial <#122d086f04019b6a_ed> Commentary <#122d086f04019b6a_cy> Research Highlights <#122d086f04019b6a_rhighlts> News and Views <#122d086f04019b6a_nv> Technology Focus <#122d086f04019b6a_Techfocus> Letters <#122d086f04019b6a_le> Article <#122d086f04019b6a_af> Interview <#122d086f04019b6a_intvw> [image: recommend to your library]Recommend to your library<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=46&m=33762454&r=MT… [image: live newsfeeds]Web feed<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=147&m=33762454&r=MTc2… [image: subscribe]Subscribe<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=123&m=3376… Advertisement*Spotlight on Nature Photonics* *Nature Photonics*<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=151&m=33762454&… its first ISI Impact Factor of *24.982**!
