About Foundations and Trends in Optics and Photonics
AIMS AND SCOPE
The growth in all aspects of research in the last decade has led to a multitude of new publications and an exponential increase in published research. Finding a way through the excellent existing literature and keeping up to date has become a major time-consuming problem. Electronic publishing has given researchers instant access to more articles than ever before. But which articles are the essential ones that should be read to understand and keep abreast with developments of any topic? To address this problem Foundations and Trends® in Optics and Photonics publishes high-quality survey and tutorial articles of the field.
Each issue of Foundations and Trends® in Optics and Photonics comprises a 50-100 page article written by research leaders in the field. Articles that give tutorial coverage of subjects, research retrospectives as well as survey papers that offer state-of-the-art reviews fall within the scope of the journal.
