Applied Optics Feature Announcement
Digital Holography and 3-D Imaging: Joint Applied Optics and Chinese Optics Letters Feature Issue
Submission Deadline: 1 August 2011
This proposed issue, to appear in the Information Processing Division, will be the fifth installment since its inception four years ago. The last four issues have been published after the conclusion of each Topical Meeting "Digital Holography and 3-D imaging (DH)." However, the issue proposed will include a new key feature—Joint Applied Optics and Chinese Optics Letters Feature Issue.
The topical meeting has been providing a forum for disseminating the science and technology of holographic interferometry for deformation or contour measurement, new technologies for phase unwrapping, 3-D optical remote sensing, 3-D holographic microscopy, 3-D optical image processing, 3-D display, and digital holography for life science or nanophotonics applications. Again, this proposed feature issue will include a representative selection of topics that will be presented at the topical meeting "Digital holography and 3-D imaging," to be held in Tokyo, Japan, May 2011. Digital holography and 3-D imaging are topics of growing interests. Indeed a rough count of the number of paper submissions to the topical meeting in Japan has been increased from about 80 from last year to 130 this year.
One of the key elements of the present proposed feature issue is that it will serve as a pilot issue promoting joint issues of Applied Optics (AO) and Chinese Optics Letters (COL). This feature issue is a result of the face-to-face discussion with the Executive Editor-in-Chief of Chinese Optics Letters Prof. Changhe Zhou. Review or research papers (Interactive Science Publishing (ISP)-based preferred) will be invited by the feature editors. All submitted papers, including invited papers, will undergo peer-review.
Review Logistics: While one of the goals of this joint issue is to strengthen OSA brand in China, the other goal is to provide new opportunities for cultivating publication volunteers in China, such as editors and reviewers. We welcome submissions either to AO or COL. In general, short original research articles are encouraged to submit to COL, while Applied Optics publishes detailed articles on work that is being explored fully and carefully.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to
- Digital holography theory and systems
- Diffractive optics
- Optical data storage
- Phase unwrapping and phase retrieval
- Computer generated holograms
- Spatial light modulators for holography
- Incoherent digital holography
- Holographic optical elements
- 2-D and 3-D pattern recognition
- Optical correlators
- Three-dimensional imaging and processing

For OSA submissions, manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual standards for submission to Applied Optics; Please see the Information for Contributors in any printed issue or the OSA Style Guide: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/ao/submit/style/jrnls_style.cfm. For Chinese Optics Letters submissions, please use the following link - http://www.col.org.cn. Manuscripts submitted to Applied Optics must also be uploaded through OSA's electronic submission system: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/ao/journal/ao/author.cfm. All manuscripts must be submitted to the Information Processing Division. Please specify that the manuscript is for the Digital Holography and 3-D Imaging feature (choose from the feature issue drop-down menu).
