JOSA B Feature Issue
Fundamental Optical Processes in Semiconductors
Submission Open: 15 September 2015
Submission Deadline: 12 February 2016
Fundamental optical processes in semiconductors (FOPS) are of central importance for both basic science and applications. The field provides the foundation for semiconductor optoelectronics and photonics by addressing the underlying fundamental science. As such, it encompasses enabling technologies for future-generation devices. Advances in technology, materials growth, measurement techniques and understanding of quantum-optical/many-body phenomena continue to stimulate expanding activity in the field. The topics of the FOPS conference constantly evolve to reflect the most recent developments of optical and condensed matter physics presented by leaders in the following fields:
- Semiconductor quantum optics
- Novel 2D materials
- Quantum processes and quasiparticles in many-body systems
- Plasmonics
- THz physics
This special issue in JOSA-B will feature both invited and contributed papers in the key areas covered by FOPS 2015. While meeting participants are particularly encouraged to submit their work, this special issue is open to all contributions. All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work, and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review process of the journal. To be eligible for publication, the papers need to add substantial and/or significant new information to the original conference summary.
Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual standards for submission to JOSA B (see: /josab/content/author/portal/item/templates-default) and uploaded through OSA's electronic submission system: (/josab/content/author/portal/item/templates-default), specifying from the drop-down menu that the manuscript is for the Feature Issue on Fundamental Optical Processes in Semiconductors.
