Focus Issues
Optics Express has published a number of special focus issues. See the Directory of Published and Ongoing Focus Issues.
Upcoming
Optics Express now displays articles in the "Upcoming" page. After an article has been fully accepted, formatted for publication, and the publication fee has been paid, we will immediately publish it on our Upcoming page.
Papers displayed here will form the upcoming issue. Every other Monday, all articles mounted on the Upcoming page will become fixed as the current issue and archived, and new articles will then be added to a new Upcoming issue.
This feature will not only ensure the fastest possible turn-around time for the authors; it will also provide readers with the fastest way to keep up on the latest research.
Papers not yet assigned a Table of Contents category will be assigned one within several days of being posted.
