Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Edited by Anthony M. Johnson of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, OL covers the latest research in optical science, including atmospheric optics, quantum electronics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
