Feature Issue of Applied Optics

Unconventional Imaging

Submission Opens: 15 September 2020

Submission Deadline: 15 November 2020

Applied Optics welcomes submissions to a feature issue on "Unconventional Imaging" in conjunction with the Information Photonics 2020 International Conference, which takes place online and in person in Taipei, Taiwan on 11-12 September 2020. While information photonics, and the Conference, covers a wide range of topics, this feature issue will highlight the work in unconventional imaging and related techniques. In particular, the works of practical applications in information photonics are welcomed to build the link between academy and industry. Whereas meeting participants are encouraged to submit their work, the feature issue is open to all contributions within scope.

Information photonics is an emerging field that includes state-of-the-art methods, devices, models, and applications related to the utilization of optics and photonics in information acquisition, processing, display, and other information techniques. To highlight the application end of information photonics, the selected topics of this feature issue are mostly related to unconventional imaging techniques and applications. An objective of this feature issue is to promote the development of imaging techniques and speed up the progress of industry applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Single-pixel imaging
  • Light-field technique
  • Digital holography
  • Compressive imaging
  • Structured illumination imaging
  • Ptychography
  • Lensless imaging
  • Ultrafast imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) associated Imaging

All submissions need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer review processes of the journals. The standard Applied Optics Publication Charges will apply to all published articles. To be eligible for publication, an expanded conference paper needs to add value to the original conference proceedings and the conference paper number must be included in the cover letter at submission. Please see OSA's guidelines on expanded conference papers for details.

Please prepare manuscripts according to the author instructions for submission to Applied Optics and submit through OSA's electronic submission system, specifying from the drop-down menu that the manuscript is for the feature issue on Unconventional Imaging.
