Congratulations! It's been a long journey and I am so glad to see this piece now finalised. I do think it will be a valuable resource for the Brillouin community. Before your manuscript is typeset, we will edit the text to ensure that your findings are clear to our wide readership and that the paper conforms with Nature Photonics style. We look particularly carefully at the titles of all papers to ensure that they are concise and clear. Once your manuscript is typeset and you have completed the appropriate grant of rights, you will receive a link to your electronic proof via email with a request to make any corrections within 48 hours. If, when you receive your proof, you cannot meet this deadline, please inform us at rjsproduction@springernature.com immediately. You may wish to make your media relations office aware of your accepted publication, in case they consider it appropriate to organize some internal or external publicity. Once your paper has been scheduled you will receive an email confirming the publication details. This is normally 3-4 working days in advance of publication. If you need additional notice of the date and time of publication, please let the production team know when you receive the proof of your article to ensure there is sufficient time to coordinate. Further information on our embargo policies can be found here: https://www.nature.com/authors/policies/embargo.html Acceptance of your manuscript is conditional upon all authors' agreement with our publication policies (see http://www.nature.com/nphoton/authors/index.html#publishing-policies). In particular, your manuscript must not be published elsewhere and there must be no announcement of the work to any media outlet until the publication date (the day on which it is uploaded onto our website). Authors may need to take specific actions to achieve compliance<https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-research/funding/policy-compliance-fa...> with funder and institutional open access mandates. If your research is supported by a funder that requires immediate open access (e.g. according to Plan S principles<https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-research/plan-s-compliance>) then you should select the gold OA route, and we will direct you to the compliant route where possible. For authors selecting the subscription publication route, the journal’s standard licensing terms will need to be accepted, including self-archiving policies<https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-research/policies/journal-policies>. Those licensing terms will supersede any other terms that the author or any third party may assert apply to any version of the manuscript. An online order form for reprints of your paper is available at https://www.nature.com/reprints/author-reprints.html<https://www.nature.com/reprints/author-reprints.html%3c/a%3e.>. All co-authors, authors' institutions and authors' funding agencies can order reprints using the form appropriate to their geographical region. We welcome the submission of potential cover material (including a short caption of around 40 words) related to your manuscript; suggestions should be sent as electronic image files (the image should be 300 dpi at 210 x 297 mm in either TIFF or JPEG format). You can now use a single sign-on for all your accounts, view the status of all your manuscript submissions and reviews, access usage statistics for your published articles and download a record of your refereeing activity for the Nature journals. To assist our authors in disseminating their research to the broader community, our SharedIt initiative provides you with a unique shareable link that will allow anyone (with or without a subscription) to read the published article. Recipients of the link with a subscription will also be able to download and print the PDF. In approximately 10 business days you will receive an email with a link to choose the appropriate publishing options for your paper and our Author Services team will be in touch regarding any additional information that may be required. If you have any questions about our publishing options, costs, Open Access requirements, or our legal forms, please contact ASJournals@springernature.com As soon as your article is published, you will receive an automated email with your shareable link. Lastly, I would like to personally thank you for choosing Nature Photonics as the journal in which to disseminate your exciting research. It has been a pleasure working with you. We would welcome submissions reporting important findings from you in the future.
