The Optical Society (OSA) has announced the beginning of its 50th anniversary celebration of Applied Optics, one of its flagship peer-reviewed publications. Applied Optics, which printed its first issue in 1962, publishes research on applications in optics and photonics, with a focus on the real-world impact of scientific innovations.
The journal's anniversary will be celebrated this week at OSA's Winter Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. with remarks from OSA President Tony Heinz of Columbia University, an updated look to the journal cover, and the launch of a website devoted to the journal's rich 50-year history. Activities are also planned throughout 2012 to commemorate the journal's anniversary and to highlight past and recent groundbreaking research.
The new 50th anniversary website, AO.OSA.org/anniversary, features open access to the 50 most-cited Applied Optics articles of all time; commemorative and historical editorials from all current and past editors-in-chief; biographies of current and past editors-in-chief; a listing of the 50 most-published authors in Applied Optics of all time (coming this spring); and a gallery of journal covers from the past five years (coming this summer).
Applied Optics publishes articles emphasising applications-centered research in optics, moving the potential of science and technology to the practical. Published three times each month, each issue contains content from three divisions of editorial scope: Optical Technology; Information Processing; and Lasers, Photonics, and Environmental Optics.
