OSA to Launch New Gold Open-Access Journal "Optica"

structural dynamics
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 2014—The Optical Society (OSA) today announced it will publish a new open-access journal titled Optica to focus on the rapid dissemination of high-impact results in all areas of optics and photonics. This new online-only journal will publish its first monthly issue in July and will be a dedicated venue for authors to publish high-profile research in both theoretical and applied optics and photonics.

Optica will publish original research articles, letters and mini reviews with the aim of representing the most important work in the field. It will provide authors with a preliminary decision on whether their manuscript will go out for an in-depth review within five business days of submission. Alex Gaeta, professor of applied and engineering physics at Cornell University, will serve as editor-in-chief.

Optica's editorial operation will be led by Gaeta, along with a renowned editorial board that includes dignitaries in the field such as Miguel Alonso, Connie Chang-Hasnain, Daniel Gauthier, Henry Kapteyn, Martii Kauranen, Thomas Krauss, Curtis Menyuk, Yehiam Prior, Henry van Driel and Hailin Wang. Gaeta will be supported by an executive editor, a new OSA staff position at the Ph.D. level.
