Feature Issue of Applied Optics

Optical Interference Coatings 2022

Submission Opens: 1 July 2022

Submission Deadline: 30 September 2022

Applied Optics welcomes submissions to a feature issue on "Optical Interference Coatings" in conjunction with the Optical Interference Coatings Conference, which will take place in a hybrid format on 19 - 24 June 2022 in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. Held every three years, the Optical Interface Coatings conference has served as the premier conference on the topic of optical interference coatings for the past four decades. Scientists, researchers, engineers and students from all around the world attend to present, learn, and exchange ideas about the latest advancements in the field. Whereas meeting participants are particularly encouraged to submit their work, the feature issue is open to all contributions in related areas.

This feature issue will cover most of the topics of optical interference coatings presented at the 2022 Optical Interface Coatings conference, including all aspects of optical coatings, including fundamental research on coating design theory, materials, deposition methods, characterization technologies, and applications in electronic displays, optical communication, high power and ultra-fast lasers, sensing, solar cells, low-emissivity coatings, optical instruments, and space.

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

  • Deposition Process Technologies
  • Coatings Applications
  • Coating and Substrate Materials
  • Characterization and Properties of Coatings
  • Design of Coatings
  • Other Topics in Optical Coatings

All submissions need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer review processes of the journal. The standard Applied Optics Article Publication Charges will apply to all published articles. To be eligible for publication, an expanded conference paper needs to add value to the original conference proceedings and the conference paper number must be included in the cover letter at submission. Please see Optica Publishing Group's guidelines on expanded conference papers for details.

Please prepare manuscripts according to the author instructions for submission to Applied Optics and submit through our electronic submission system, specifying from the drop-down menu that the manuscript is for the feature issue on Optical Interface Coatings.
