About Optical Materials Express
Optica Publishing Group publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optical Materials Express (OMEx), Optica Publishing Group’s open-access, rapid-review journal, primarily emphasizes advances in both conventional and novel optical materials, their properties, theory and modeling, synthesis and fabrication approaches for optics and photonics; how such materials contribute to novel optical behavior; and how they enable new or improved optical devices. The journal covers a full range of topics, including, but not limited to:
- Artificially structured media, metasurfaces and metamaterials
- Bio-materials, bio-inspired materials and bio-sensors
- Computation and first-principle methods
- Crystalline and dielectric optical materials
- Doped and fiber optical materials
- Epitaxial photonic materials
- Fluorescent and luminescent materials
- Glass and other amorphous materials
- Laser materials and processing
- Materials for integrated optics, optomechanics and quantum optics
- Nanostructures and nanomaterials
- Nonlinear, electro-optical and magneto-optical materials
- Optical materials for photovoltaics and energy applications
- Organics, polymers and soft matter, liquid crystals
- Plasmonics and polaritonics
- Self-assembly and templated assembly for photonic materials
- Stimuli-responsive, reconfigurable and programmable optical materials
- Thin films and flexible materials
- Two-dimensional materials
- Wide-bandgap optical materials
Optical Materials Express considers original research articles, feature issue contributions, invited reviews, and comments on published articles. The Journal also publishes occasional short (four-page maximum excluding references), timely opinion articles from experts and thought-leaders in the field on current or emerging topic areas that are generating significant interest.
