On the Cover: A history of high-power laser research and development in the United Kingdom
The image on the cover of High Power Laser Science and Engineering Volume 9, Issue 2, indicates that many laboratories worldwide began the search for lasers using different materials, operating at different wavelengths. In the UK, academia, industry and the central laboratories took up the challenge from the earliest days to develop these systems for a broad range of applications. The image is based on original research by Colin N. Danson et al. presented in their paper "A history of high-power laser research and development in the United Kingdom", High Power Laser Science and Engineering 9 (2), 02000e18 (2021).The image on the cover of High Power Laser Science and Engineering Volume 9, Issue 2, indicates that many laboratories worldwide began the search for lasers using different materials, operating at different wavelengths.

On the Cover: Mode division multiplexing: from photonic integration to optical fiber transmission [Invited]
The image on the cover for Chinese Optics Letters Volume 19, Issue 9, indicates that different modes in a few-mode fiber (FMF) can be employed for mode division multiplexing (MDM) to overcome the capacity crunch of optical communications based on the traditional single-mode fiber (SMF). MDM can also be extended to photonic integration for obtaining improved density and efficiency, as well as interconnection capacity.The image is based on original research by Jiangbing Du et al. presented in their paper "Mode division multiplexing: from photonic integration to optical fiber transmission [Invited]", Chinese Optics Letters 19 (9), 091301 (2021).The image on the cover for Chinese Optics Letters Volume 19, Issue 9, indicates that different modes in a few-mode fiber (FMF) can be employed for mode division multiplexing (MDM) to overcome the capacity crunch of optical communications based on the traditional single-mode fiber (SMF).

On the Cover: Experimental verification of group non-membership in optical circuits
The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 9, experimentally demonstrates the new verification process with a four-element group in an all-optical circuit. The new protocol is validated experimentally by observing a significant completeness-soundness gap between the probabilities of accepting elements in and outside the subgroup.The image is based on original research by Kai Sun et al. presented in their paper "Experimental verification of group non-membership in optical circuits", Photonics Research 9 (9), 09001745 (2021).The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 9, experimentally demonstrates the new verification process with a four-element group in an all-optical circuit.

On the Cover: Optical control of transverse motion of ionization injected electrons in a laser plasma accelerator
The image on the cover of High Power Laser Science and Engineering Volume 9, Issue 1, demonstrate an all-optical method for controlling the transverse motion of an ionization injected electron beam in a laser plasma accelerator by using the transversely asymmetrical plasma wakefield. The laser focus shape can control the distribution of a transversal wakefield.

On the Cover: Negative refraction mediated by bound states in the continuum
The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 8, reports on the observation of negative refraction in the PhC slab where the vertical guiding is enabled by a bound state in the continuum and essentially beyond the light cone. Such abnormal refraction and guiding mechanism are based on the synchronous crafting of spatial dispersion and the radiative lifetime of Bloch modes within the radiative continuum. The image is based on original research by Zhanyuan Zhang et al. presented in their paper "Negative refraction mediated by bound states in the continuum", Photonics Research 9 (8), 08001592 (2021).The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 8, reports on the observation of negative refraction in the PhC slab where the vertical guiding is enabled by a bound state in the continuum and essentially beyond the light cone.

The image on the cover for Chinese Optics Letters Volume 19, Issue 8, introduces a nanoplasmonic isolator that consists of a cylindrical resonator placed close to a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) waveguide. The material filling the waveguide and resonator is a magneto-optical (MO) material, and the structure is under an externally applied static magnetic field.The image is based on original research by Vahid Foroughi Nezhad, Chenglong You and Georgios Veronis presented in their paper "Nanoplasmonic magneto-optical isolator [Invited]", Chinese Optics Letters 19 (8), 083602 (2021).The image on the cover for Chinese Optics Letters Volume 19, Issue 8, introduces a nanoplasmonic isolator that consists of a cylindrical resonator placed close to a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) waveguide.

On the Cover: Wave and particle properties can be spatially separated in a quantum entity
The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 7, indicates that wave and particle are two fundamental properties of nature. The wave–particle duality has indicated that a quantum object may exhibit the behaviors of both wave and particle, depending upon the circumstances of the experiment. The major significance of wave–particle duality has led to a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics: the Schrödinger equation. The image is based on original research by Pratyusha Chowdhury, Arun Kumar Pati and Jing-Ling Chen presented in their paper "Wave and particle properties can be spatially separated in a quantum entity", Photonics Research 9 (7), 07001379(2021).The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 7, indicates that wave and particle are two fundamental properties of nature.

On the Cover: Ultra-long-period grating-based multi-wavelength ultrafast fiber laser [Invited]
The image on the cover for Chinese Optics Letters Volume 19, Issue 7, proposes and demonstrates the cascaded multi-wavelength mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) based on ultra-long-period gratings (ULPGs) for the first time. Study found that the ULPG can be used as both a mode-locker for pulse shaping and a comb filter for multi-wavelength generation simultaneously.The image is based on original research by Bo Guo et al. presented in their paper "Ultra-long-period grating-based multi-wavelength ultrafast fiber laser [Invited]", Chinese Optics Letters 19 (7), 071405 (2021).The image on the cover for Chinese Optics Letters Volume 19, Issue 7, proposes and demonstrates the cascaded multi-wavelength mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) based on ultra-long-period gratings (ULPGs) for the first time.

On the Cover: Spin-decoupled metalens with intensity-tunable multiple focal points
The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 6, indicates that the control of spin electromagnetic (EM) waves is of great significance in optical communications. Although geometric metasurfaces have shown unprecedented capability to manipulate the wavefronts of spin EM waves, it is still challenging to independently manipulate each spin state and intensity distribution, which inevitably degrades metasurface-based devices for further applications. Here an approach to designing spin-decoupled metalenses based on pure geometric phase ia proposed and experimentally demonstrated.The image is based on original research by Bingshuang Yao et al. presented in their paper "Spin-decoupled metalens with intensity-tunable multiple focal points", Photonics Research 9 (6), 06001019(2021).The image on the cover for Photonics Research Volume 9, Issue 6, indicates that the control of spin electromagnetic (EM) waves is of great significance in optical communications.
