1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Near-field coupling between nanolasers enables collective high-power lasing but leads to complex spectral reshaping and multimode operation, limiting the emission brightness, spatial coherence, and temporal stability. Many lasing architectures have been proposed to circumvent this limitation based on symmetries, topology, or interference. We show that a much simpler and robust method exploiting phase-delayed coupling, where light exchanged by the lasers carries a phase, can enable stable single-mode operation. Phase-delayed coupling changes the modal amplification: for pump powers close to the anyonic parity-time (PT) symmetric exceptional point, a high phase delay completely separates the mode thresholds, leading to single-mode operation. This is shown by stability analysis with nonlinear coupled mode theory and stochastic differential equations for two coupled nanolasers and confirmed by a realistic semianalytical treatment of a dimer of lasing nanospheres. Finally, we extend the mode control to large arrays of nanolasers featuring lowered thresholds and higher power. Our work promises a novel solution to engineer bright and stable single-mode lasing from nanolaser arrays with important applications in photonic chips for communication and LIDAR.
