Optical Materials

An International Journal on the Physics and Chemistry of Optical Materials and their Applications, including Devices

Optical Materials has an open access companion journal Optical Materials: X which has the same editorial board and peer-review process. To submit to Optical Materials: X visit https://www.editorialmanager.com/OMX/default.aspx.

Optical Materials provides a means for communicating advances in the materials enabling of optical devices and applications. The journal publishes original papers and invited reviews on the synthesis, properties, and uses of optical materials. Optical Materials focuses on:

• Optical properties of materials;

• The enabling Materials aspects of optical phenomena;

• The underlying Materials aspects of optical and photonic devices and applications.

Manuscripts should focus on and explicitly describe new material, process, property, and application advancements and not incremental improvements.

Manuscripts reporting purely computational results without direct experimental validation falls outside of the scope of this journal and should be submitted to our open access companion, Optical Materials X.

Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
