光學(xué)材料有一個(gè)開放的訪問鏡期刊光學(xué)材料：X，共享相同的目標(biāo)和范圍，編輯團(tuán)隊(duì)，提交系統(tǒng)和嚴(yán)格的同行審查。光學(xué)材料的目的是在對(duì)材料感興趣的研究人員之間提供一種通信和技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)移的方法，用于潛在的設(shè)備應(yīng)用。該雜志發(fā)表有關(guān)光學(xué)材料的設(shè)計(jì)、合成、表征和應(yīng)用的原著和評(píng)論文章。光學(xué)材料的重點(diǎn)是：?材料系統(tǒng)的光學(xué)特性；?光學(xué)現(xiàn)象的材料方面；?設(shè)備和應(yīng)用的材料方面。作者可以將描述其數(shù)據(jù)的獨(dú)立研究元素簡(jiǎn)單地提交給數(shù)據(jù)，并將方法提交給方法X。

Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:? Optical Properties of Material Systems;? The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;? The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
