Journal Title：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

該期刊（原名為 Optica Acta）創刊于 1953 年，比激光問世早幾年，是一本國際光學期刊。自那時起，光學研究發生了巨大變化；人們探索了新的研究領域，采用了不同的技術，應用范圍也大大擴大。該期刊繼續反映這些進步，作為其范圍不斷擴大的一部分。

《現代光學雜志》旨在發表來自世界各地教育機構、政府機構和工業研發團體對光學知識的原創和及時貢獻。涵蓋了整個經典和量子光學領域。論文可以涉及現代光學基礎的應用，同時考慮當代研究的實驗和理論方面。除了常規論文外，還有專題和教程評論以及重點領域的特別問題。

所有稿件提交均需經過編輯的初步評估，如果認為適合進一步考慮，則由獨立的匿名專家評審員進行同行評審。

涵蓋的一般主題包括：

? 光學和光子材料（包括超材料）

? 等離子體和納米光子學

? 量子光學（包括量子信息）

? 光學儀器和技術（包括探測器、計量學、傳感器、激光器）

? 相干性、傳播、偏振和操縱（經典光學）

? 散射和全息術（衍射光學）

? 光纖和光通信（包括集成光學、放大器）

? 視覺科學與應用

? 醫學和生物醫學光學

? 非線性和超快光學（包括諧波產生、多光子光譜）

? 成像和圖像處理

Journal Of Modern Optics創刊于1987年，由Taylor and Francis Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋物理 - 光學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 約2.7個月 ，影響因子指數1.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
