JOURNAL OF MODERN OPTICS

The journal (under its former title Optica Acta) was founded in 1953 - some years before the advent of the laser - as an international journal of optics. Since then optical research has changed greatly; fresh areas of inquiry have been explored, different techniques have been employed and the range of application has greatly increased. The journal has continued to reflect these advances as part of its steadily widening scope. Journal of Modern Optics aims to publish original and timely contributions to optical knowledge from educational institutions, government establishments and industrial R&D groups world-wide. The whole field of classical and quantum optics is covered. Papers may deal with the applications of fundamentals of modern optics, considering both experimental and theoretical aspects of contemporary research. In addition to regular papers, there are topical and tutorial reviews, and special issues on highlighted areas. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. General topics covered include: ? Optical and photonic materials (inc. metamaterials) ? Plasmonics and nanophotonics ? Quantum optics (inc. quantum information) ? Optical instrumentation and technology (inc. detectors, metrology, sensors, lasers) ? Coherence, propagation, polarization and manipulation (classical optics) ? Scattering and holography (diffractive optics) ? Optical fibres and optical communications (inc. integrated optics, amplifiers) ? Vision science and applications ? Medical and biomedical optics ? Nonlinear and ultrafast optics (inc. harmonic generation, multiphoton spectroscopy) ? Imaging and Image processing

JOURNAL OF MODERN OPTICS期刊中文简介

《光学学报》（原名《光学学报》）作为国际光学杂志，于1953年（激光器问世前几年）创办。从那时起，光学研究发生了巨大的变化，探索了新的研究领域，采用了不同的技术，应用范围大大扩大。期刊继续反映这些进展，作为其稳步扩大的范围的一部分。《现代光学杂志》的宗旨是在全球范围内出版教育机构、政府机构和工业研发团体对光学知识的原创和及时贡献。涵盖了经典光学和量子光学的整个领域。论文可能涉及现代光学基础的应用，同时考虑到当代研究的实验和理论方面。除了常规论文外，还有专题和教程评论，以及重点领域的特殊问题。所有提交的手稿都要经过编辑的初步评估，如果认为适合进一步考虑，还要经过独立的匿名专家评审。一般主题包括：?光学和光子材料（包括超材料）?等离子体和纳米光子学?量子光学（包括量子信息）?光学仪器和技术（包括探测器、计量、传感器、激光器）?相干、传播、极化和操纵（经典光学）?散射和全息照相（衍射光学）?光纤和光通信（包括集成光学、放大器）?视觉科学和应用?医学和生物医学光学?非线性和超快光学（包括谐波产生、多光子光谱学）?成像和图像处理
