About AO

Publishing three times each month, Applied Optics emphasizes applications-centered research in optics, moving the potential of science and technology to the practical. Articles provide increased understanding of an existing topic, rather than solely introducing new science or physics. These articles provide in-depth discussions of material and report on the development and performance of technologies when applying theories. Each issue contains content from three divisions of editorial scope: Optical Technology; Information Processing; and Lasers, Photonics, and Environmental Optics. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • 3-D sensing, processing, and display
  • Instrumentation, measurement, and metrology
  • Imaging systems
  • Lasers and laser optics
  • Fiber optics and optical communications
  • Image processing
  • Holography
  • Lidar and remote sensing
  • Laser materials processing
