The Optical Society (OSA) has announced the launch and publication of the first issue of its newest peer-reviewed, open-access journal, Photonics Research. The journal is being published in partnership with the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) and Chinese Laser Press (CLP).
Photonics Research joins OSA's diverse portfolio of 16 peer-reviewed journals and serves as a new international platform for researchers to share advances in optics and photonics. The editorial board, led by Editor-in-Chief Zhiping (James) Zhou of Peking University in China, comprises leading researchers from around the world.
Photonics Research is freely and widely available to all readers via OSA's digital library Optics InfoBase, and CLP’s Opticsjournal.net platform. The new journal will provide authors of accepted papers with professional composition and rapid article-at-a-time publication as well as an enhanced HTML formatted version and article-level metrics on Optics InfoBase. Topics include, but are not limited to, lasers, LEDs and other light sources; fiber optics and optical communications; imaging, detectors and sensors; novel materials and engineered structures; optical data storage and displays; plasmonics; quantum optics; diffractive optics and guided optics; medical optics and biophotonics; ultraviolet and x-rays; and terahertz technology.
