  • Silicon core fibre is a highly nonlinear waveguide that combines the benefits of both fibre and planar waveguide systems. Here, the authors demonstrate frequency comb generation using a fully-fibre integrated silicon core fibre as a nonlinear mixer.

  • The metabolite methylthioadenosine (MTA) inhibits PRMT5. Therefore, MTA accumulation due to MTA phosphorylase (MTAP) deletion has been proposed as a vulnerability for PRMT5-targeted therapy in cancer. Here, the authors show that MTA does not accumulate in MTAP-deficient cancer cells but is secreted and metabolized by MTAP-intact cells in the tumour microenvironment.

  • Semiconductor-core optical fibres are of interest for their non-linear optical and electro-optical properties. Here, GaSb/Si composite-core optical fibres were fabricated and a CO2 laser was used to facilitate controlled GaSb segregation within the silicon. This has implications for embedding light sources in IR-transmitting fibers

  • Using SiGe in the core of optical fibres extends the wavelength range and potential optical functionality, but fabrication challenges exist. Here, Coucheronet al. report the fabrication and tailoring of SiGe-core optical fibres using CO2laser irradiation to heat the glass cladding and recrystallize the core.

  • Optical fibres heavily doped with alumina are shown to exhibit an exceptionally low Brillouin gain coefficient and an athermal Brillouin frequency response. Such fibres could prove useful for applications that employ fibre sensing or require high-power fibre laser systems.
