This feature issue will comprise selected expanded papers from the 2015 OSA Light, Energy and the Environment Congress, to be held 2-5 November 2015, at Soochow University Dushu Lake Campus, Suzhou, China. This comprehensive Congress examines the frontiers in the development of optical technologies for energy production, transport, and use. It also examines the use of optical and photonic approaches to monitor energy usage and the effects energy production has on the environment. The feature issue will be published in the Energy Express dedicated section of Optics Express.
The guest editors will select the best papers from the four topical meetings to be included in the feature issue: Optics and Photonics for Energy and Environmental Applications (E2), Optical Nanostructures and Advanced Materials for Photovoltaics (PV), Optics for Solar Energy (SOLAR), and Solid State and Organic Lighting (SOLED).
All papers must present original, previously unpublished work, and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review process of the journal.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. Appropriate attribution to the conference paper must also be given in the manuscript. Normal Optics Express Article Processing Charges will apply to all published articles.
Please prepare manuscripts according to the author instructions for submission to Optics Express and submit through OSA's online submission system. When submitting, authors must specify that the manuscript is for the feature issue on Light, Energy and the Environment feature issue (choose from the drop-down menu).
