Optical Engineering

Editor-in-Chief: Adam Wax, Duke University

Optical Engineering publishes peer-reviewed articles reporting on research, development, and applications of optics and photonics. Primary topical areas include: imaging components, systems, and processing; optical instrumentation, techniques, and measurement; optical design and engineering; lasers, fiber optics, and sensors; communication and signal processing; and optical materials, photonic devices, and sensors.

On the cover: The figure is from the Gold Open Access paper "Calibration method of a three-dimensional scanner based on a line laser projector and a camera with 1-axis rotating mechanism" by Van-Tung Ha, Van-Phu Do, and Byung-Ryong Lee in Vol. 63, Issue 3.

Optical Engineering publishes peer-reviewed articles reporting on research, development, and applications of optics and photonics. The five primary topical areas and their subtopics are listed below. Image- and signal-processing papers, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, that do not have a significant impact on optical engineering will be rejected as out of scope. Read more.
