Publications
The IEEE Photonics Journal is the Society’s online-only, open-access journal that provides rapid publication of top quality peer-reviewed papers at the forefront of photonics research.
The IEEE Photonics Technology Letters cover advances in the theory, design, fabrication, application, performance, packaging and reliability of lasers, optical devices, fiber-optics and waveguide technologies and quantum electronic devices. The journal is published bi-weekly to provide rapid publication of significant original research contributions.
The Journal of Quantum Electronics is published monthly to address new developments or phenomena that impact continuing research or advance the technological base of quantum electronics.
The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics is published six times a year to address original theoretical and/or experimental research results that advance the scientific and technological base of quantum electronics. Each issue is devoted to a specific topic within the quantum electronics field.
The IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology is published semimonthly by seven IEEE Societies and the The Optical Society. Topics include: fiber and cable technologies, active and passive guided-wave componentry, integrated optics/optoelectronics, as well as new applications and field trials.
Published monthly by the IEEE Photonics Society, IEEE Communications Society and The Optical Society, the IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications & Networking covers advances in both theoretical contributions to state-of-the-art optical communications and networking, as well as practical applications in a broad range of optical networking technologies.
