Coordinated Feature Issues of Optics Express and Optical Materials Express

This year, the OSA journals Optics Express and Optical Materials Express will be teaming up to publish papers from the Nonlinear Optics 2011 Conference (July 17-22) in coordinated Feature Issues that will appear in November. Only papers accepted for the meeting will be eligible for submission to the Feature Issues. All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work, and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review process of the journals.

Authors may choose to submit to either Optics Express or Optical Materials Express, but generally, we encourage submitting materials-oriented papers to Optical Materials Express, while all other topics from the NLO conference would be better suited for Optics Express. The standard publication charges for Optics Express will apply. The publication fees are waived for Optical Materials Express.

Papers will appear in their respective journals and will be published online upon acceptance. Additionally, a joint virtual feature issue with a combined table of contents of papers in Optics Express and Optical Materials Express will appear in November.

Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual standards for submission to Optics Express and Optics Materials Express and must be uploaded through OSAs electronic-submission system (Optics Express - http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/journal/oe/author.cfm, Optical Materials Express - http://www.opticsinfobase.org/ome/journal/ome/author.cfm). When submitting, please specify that the manuscript is for the Nonlinear Optics feature issue (choose from the drop-down menu).
