Submission Deadline: 1 May 2014

This special issue of Applied Optics will solicit papers presented in the Optical Design and Testing subconference of OPTIC 2013 (Optics and Photonics of Taiwan International Conference). OPTIC 2013 is the annual meeting for Taiwan's optics and photonics community, and will be held in the National Central University, 5-7 December 2013. The last conference attracted more than 1,000 contributed papers and around 2,000 participants, and provided a forum for disseminating the science and technology of optics and photonics developed by research groups from universities and research institutes across the globe. While meeting participants are particularly encouraged to submit their work, the special issue is open to all contributions in this area.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas:

  • Novel Optical design and optimization method for digital image optics
  • Novel Optical design and optimization method for digital non-image optics
  • Optical design of smart integral optics and opto-mechatronics
  • Adaptive optics: innovative technologies and concepts
  • Advances in X-Ray/EUV Optics and Components

Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual standards for submission to Applied Optics; see the Information for Contributors in any printed issue or the OSA Style Guide. Manuscripts must also be uploaded through OSA's electronic submission system. All manuscripts must be submitted to the Information Processing Division.
