Abstract
Prompted by the complaints of the so-called “Subversive Optics Society” in the
late 1950s, OSA launched a new journal in 1962 to represent modern topics in optics.
Due to fortuitous timing—and a highly competent managing editor—Applied Optics was
able to cover the most current topic imaginable long before its competition: the
laser.
