Aims & Scope

Top 10 Most Cited Articles - April 2008

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.  In addition to regular papers there are topical reviews and special issues on highlighted areas
Journal of Modern Optics aims to publish original 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, for example:
 

Diffraction

Strong field phenomena

Free and guided propagation

Attosecond science

Interference     

 

Optical coherence

Optical materials

Polarization      

Thin films and multilayer coatings
