Journal Aim & Scope
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.

Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.

    It has been a week since I submitted my article. I submitted on 4.11, passed the Quality Check on 4.14, and have been assigned an editor since then. Has anyone encountered this situation before? Is it going to be rejected after a while? Why has it been in this status for so long????

    The submission was made on February 20th, and it has been nearly two months now without receiving any review comments. So slow!

    As an old-school optical journal, both the speed and the professionalism of the editors and reviewers are beyond doubt. I believe that the essence of the method I used is not particularly complex, but the experimental results compared with various methods are very good. The questions raised by the reviewers are just right, making it not difficult to reply while highlighting the professionalism and help of the article. As the first paper of a scientific research novice, OL will always be the white moonlight in my heart. Sharing my submission process with everyone, it is probably the most ordinary and normal.

    Although rejected, there is nothing to be upset about. I really don't understand how it can be scored in the third zone. Can zky still save face? Can COL be of better quality than OL?

    COL is even more stable than him. Haha.
