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

High optical nonlinearity can enable classical and quantum functionalities in all-fibre laser systems. However, despite long-standing efforts to exploit second-order optical nonlinearity in conventional all-fibre systems, nonlinear optical conversion efficiencies remain modest. Here we demonstrate all-fibre integration of twist-phase-matched rhombohedral boron nitride (rBN) flakes on the end facet of optical fibres for second-harmonic generation (SHG) and spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). We provide local and global optimization of the interflake twist angles for phase-matching design, achieving an SHG conversion efficiency of ~4.1% and an SPDC coincidence rate of ~90 in van der Waals crystals integrated on optical fibre devices. Finally, we design an all-fibre frequency-doubling ultrafast laser by integrating a multifunctional nonlinear crystal of a graphene/rBN heterostructure to simultaneously generate mode-locked pulses and intracavity SHG emission. This work establishes a route for developing high-efficiency, second-order nonlinear functionalities, such as optical parametric oscillators, optical modulators and entangled photon sources, in all-fibre lasers.
