January 2008 issue of Nature Photonics has a technology focus on fiber lasers. Some recent research highlights are presented, like report of millijoule femtosecond fiber laser from Jena University. Several people from companies (SPI Lasers, IPG Photonics, Koheras) are invited to write their perspective on fiber lasers. Prof.

Nature Physics will be lauched on October, 2005. Now Nature Publishing Group announced the launch of Nature Photonics. This international monthly journal will launch in 2007 with its editorial base in our Japan office and additional editors based in the US and Europe. Nature Photonics will be an essential journal to both the optics and photonics communities.

They are looking for a Chief Editor for this new journal. In the post is mentioned:

Intel researchers published development of first cw all-silicon Raman laser on Nature.
In a paper published by the prestigious scientific journal Nature, Intel researchers disclosed the development of the first continuous wave all-silicon laser using a physical property called the Raman Effect. They built the experimental device using Intel's existing standard CMOS high-volume manufacturing processes. This is the third silicon photonics paper Intel has published in Nature in the past year, beginning with the modulator breakthrough in February 2004.
