摘要
We are very pleased to introduce the inaugural issue of Photonics Research,a publishing collaboration between The Optical Society(OSA)and Chinese Laser Press(CLP),serving as a new international platform for researchers to share advances in optics and photonics.In the past 50 years,the concept of light’s duality helped the invention and development of modern optoelectronic devices,such as lasers and rare-earth-doped fiber amplifiers,which formed the backbone of a photonics revolution that fuels our ever-expanding boundaries in photonics research.Photonics Research recognizes that light has both particle and wave behaviors and covers research and development in photonics over the electromagnetic spectrum from ultraviolet,visible to the near-,mid-,and far-infrared.The scope of Photonics Research will span from fundamental properties of light and its interactions with matter;to the latest developments in optoelectronic devices;and to the emerging physics and applications involving quantum information,nanophotonics,and ultrafast phenomena,to name just a few.
