光學(xué)和光子學(xué)的迅速發(fā)展使其應(yīng)用范圍大大擴(kuò)展到信息和通信技術(shù)、安全、傳感、生物和醫(yī)學(xué)、醫(yī)療保健和化學(xué)等多個領(lǐng)域。其他科學(xué)的最新成就使人們能夠不斷地發(fā)現(xiàn)新的自然奧秘，并為需要進(jìn)一步發(fā)展現(xiàn)代概念和進(jìn)行基礎(chǔ)研究的光學(xué)制定具有挑戰(zhàn)性的目標(biāo)。《歐洲光學(xué)學(xué)會期刊——快速出版》（JEOS:RP）旨在以快速、科學(xué)、高質(zhì)量的交流形式解決上述所有問題，報告最新發(fā)現(xiàn)。它介紹了新興技術(shù)，并概述了光學(xué)和光子學(xué)的戰(zhàn)略目標(biāo)。該雜志涵蓋了基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用主題，包括但不限于：經(jīng)典與量子光學(xué)光/物質(zhì)相互作用光通信微光學(xué)和納米光學(xué)非線性光學(xué)現(xiàn)象光學(xué)材料光學(xué)計量學(xué)光學(xué)光譜學(xué)色彩研究納米和超材料現(xiàn)代光子學(xué)技術(shù)光學(xué)工程、設(shè)計和儀器光學(xué)在生物物理和醫(yī)學(xué)中的應(yīng)用利用光子學(xué)的跨學(xué)科領(lǐng)域，如能源、氣候變化和文化遺產(chǎn)該雜志旨在為讀者提供最近在光學(xué)/光子學(xué)領(lǐng)域取得的重要成就，顧名思義，它力求盡可能縮短出版時間。

Rapid progress in optics and photonics has broadened its application enormously into many branches, including information and communication technology, security, sensing, bio- and medical sciences, healthcare and chemistry.Recent achievements in other sciences have allowed continual discovery of new natural mysteries and formulation of challenging goals for optics that require further development of modern concepts and running fundamental research.The Journal of the European Optical Society – Rapid Publications (JEOS:RP) aims to tackle all of the aforementioned points in the form of prompt, scientific, high-quality communications that report on the latest findings. It presents emerging technologies and outlining strategic goals in optics and photonics.The journal covers both fundamental and applied topics, including but not limited to:Classical and quantum opticsLight/matter interactionOptical communicationMicro- and nanopticsNonlinear optical phenomenaOptical materialsOptical metrologyOptical spectroscopyColour researchNano and metamaterialsModern photonics technologyOptical engineering, design and instrumentationOptical applications in bio-physics and medicineInterdisciplinary fields using photonics, such as in energy, climate change and cultural heritage The journal aims to provide readers with recent and important achievements in optics/photonics and, as its name suggests, it strives for the shortest possible publication time.
