The C.I.E. colorimetric standards and their use

Timothy J. Smith, J Guild · 1 Jan 1931

The new international standards, which define a standard observer, three standard illuminants, standard conditions of illuminating and viewing opaque specimens, a standard for evaluating the brightness factor of opaque specimens, and a standard trichromatic system for the expression of colour measurements, are stated and their origin explained. In addition to the numerical tables which are…

A re-determination of the trichromatic coefficients of the spectral colours

W. D. Wright · 1 Mar 1929

Using a new trichromatic colorimeter a series of colour matches through the spectrum has been made by ten observers. The results have been averaged and a mean set of trichromatic coefficients for the spectral colours derived. These results are compared with previous determinations made by König and Abney. The variations in the coefficients that have…

The structure of abraded glass surfaces

F. W. Preston · 1 Feb 1922

The physical nature of the processes involved in the workshop operations of cutting and grinding are but little understood, such attention as these operations have received being mainly of an empirical nature. In the present paper some preliminary observations are recorded on the tooling of hard brittle substances where the phenomena may be expected to…

A re-determination of the mixture curves of the spectrum

W. D. Wright · 1 May 1930

The paper describes a method that has been developed for calculating the sensation curves and mixtures curves from an average set of trichromatic coefficients and the standard luminosity curve, without recourse to any further experimental data. A complete table of colour mixture data is given. The practical value of different methods of colorimetry and the…

A trichromatic colorimeter with spectral primaries

W. D. Wright · 1 May 1928

The paper describes a trichromatic colorimeter that has been specially designed in order to make an accurate re-determination of the locus of the spectral colours in the colour triangle for as many observers as possible. A spectrometer system is used in which two spectra are formed from the same source. From one of these, three…

Transactions of the Optical Society template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Transactions of the Optical Society format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Transactions of the Optical Society 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 Transactions of the Optical Society use?
Transactions of the Optical Society 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 Transactions of the Optical Society 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Transactions of the Optical Society?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Transactions of the Optical Society 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 Transactions of the Optical Society template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Transactions of the Optical Society format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
