The Optical Society of America (OSA) has announced its five most downloaded research papers in 2007. The papers, downloaded from OpticsInfoBase.org, OSA's online repository for its 12 journals, were all published in OSA's open access journal, Optics Express.
The research covers a range of topics in the field of optics from semiconductor lasers and electron lasers to cloaking and negative-index materials. OSA tracks the most downloaded papers each month at www.OpticsInfoBase.org.
The most downloaded paper was one titled 'Quasistatic cloaking of two-dimensional polarizable discrete systems by anomalous resonance'. Its popularity is attributed to the fact that it details a recent advance in cloaking, a current hot topic in optics, and contains interesting multimedia files of the authors' findings.
Optics Express, an all-electronic journal, publishes original, peer-reviewed articles that report new developments of interest in all fields of optical science and technology.
