Roadmap on structured light

Halina Rubinsztein‐Dunlop, Andrew Forbes, Michael Berry et al. · 25 Nov 2016

Structured light refers to the generation and application of custom light fields. As the tools and technology to create and detect structured light have evolved, steadily the applications have begun to emerge. This roadmap touches on the key fields within structured light from the

Roadmap on silicon photonics

David J. Thomson, Aaron Zilkie, John E. Bowers et al. · 24 Jun 2016

Silicon photonics research can be dated back to the 1980s. However, the previous decade has witnessed an explosive growth in the field. Silicon photonics is a disruptive technology that is poised to revolutionize a number of application areas, for example, data centers, high-performance computing and sensing. The key driving force behind silicon photonics is the…

Goos–Hänchen and Imbert–Fedorov beam shifts: an overview

Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Andrea Aiello · 1 Jan 2013

We consider reflection and transmission of polarized paraxial light beams at a plane dielectric interface. The field transformations taking into account a finite beam width are described based on the plane-wave representation and geometric rotations. Using geometrical-optics coordinate frames accompanying the beams, we construct an effective Jones matrix characterizing spatial-dispersion properties of the interface. This…

Roadmap of optical communications

Erik Agrell, Magnus Karlsson, A.R. Chraplyvy et al. · 4 May 2016

Lightwave communications is a necessity for the information age. Optical links provide enormous bandwidth, and the optical fiber is the only medium that can meet the modern society's needs for transporting massive amounts of data over long distances. Applications range from global highcapacity networks, which constitute the backbone of the internet, to the massively parallel

Spin-to-orbital conversion of the angular momentum of light and its classical and quantum applications

Lorenzo Marrucci, Ebrahim Karimi, Sergei Slussarenko et al. · 27 Apr 2011

Few years ago the possibility of coupling and inter-converting the spin and orbital angular momentum (SAM and OAM) of paraxial light beams in inhomogeneous anisotropic media was demonstrated. An important case is provided by wave-plates having a singular transverse pattern of the birefringent optical axis, with a topological singularity of charge q at the plate…

Journal of Optics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Optics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Optics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Optics use?
Journal of Optics uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Journal of Optics 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Optics?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Journal of Optics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Optics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Optics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Journal of Optics?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Optics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Optics template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Optics template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Optics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Optics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
