About this Journal

Aims and scope

International Journal of Optics publishes papers on the nature of light, its properties and behaviours, and its interaction with matter. The journal considers both fundamental and highly applied studies, especially those that promise technological solutions for the next generation of systems and devices. As well as original research, International Journal of Optics also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.

Watch Chief Editor Giulio Cerullo discuss what sets this journal apart and how it supports the scientific community.
