History of COL

Chinese Optics Letters (COL), considered to be one of the most important journals in optics in China, has been published since January 2003. Before 2003 this journal was available as Chinese Journal of Laser B, which is also a core journal in the fields of laser and optics. The first issue of this journal appeared in 1982.

COL is published monthly by the Chinese Optics Letters Manuscript Office, sponsored by the Chinese Optical Society, undertaken by Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and distributed by OSA (the Optical Society), outside of Chinese Mainland.

COL is one of the leading Chinese journal for optics and also the only international optical journal in China. The purpose of COL is to promote the generation, application, and archiving of knowledge in optics and to disseminate it worldwide. Its subject coverage includes Fiber Optics and Optical Communications, Lasers and Laser Optics, Nonlinear Optics, Image Processing, Instrumentation, Measurement and Metrology, Integrated Optics, Materials, Quantum Optics, Ultrafast Optics, etc.

COL reportsthe latest developments and achievements in all fields of optics. The average period of published papers from their receipt to publication is about 6 months.

COL has reported a large number of creative, important, and exciting results. Most papers published in COL are indexed by the main index systems of the world such as EI, CA, etc. COL is also the core source periodical of Chinese Science Citation Database and Chinese Academic Journal Comprehensive Evaluation Database.


Sponsor

The journal is sponsored by the Chinese Optical Society (COS) and undertaken by the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), Chinese Academy of Sciences.

COS was established in December 1979.
Chief Director of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd COS Council:
Professor Daheng Wang (Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences)
Chief Director of the 4th and 5th COS Council:
Professor Guoguang Mu (Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences)

COS sponsors 7 journals:
Chinese Optics Letters, Acta Optica Sinica, Chinese Journal of Lasers, Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves, Acta Photonica Sinica, Spectroscopy and Spectral Analysis, Chinese Journal of Laser Medicine & Surgery.

SIOM was established in 1964. It is the earliest and the largest institute in China specializing in laser science and technology. It has now developed into a comprehensive scientific research institute with modern optics as the leading orientation, with the exploring of significant fundamental science frontiers and development of large engineering techniques and pioneering laser and optoelectronic application as the focal point, with high-tech innovation and basic research for application as the major task.

The main research fields are: High Power Laser Technique, Strong-Field Physics and High Intensity Optics, Information Optics, Quantum Optics, Laser & Optoelectronic devices, and Optical Materials, etc.

There are three basic research laboratories (the Key Laboratory for High Intensity Optics of CAS, the Key Laboratory for Quantum Optics of CAS, and the Laboratory for Information Optics), three high-tech. application and innovation research laboratories (the National Laboratory for High Power Laser Physics, the High Density Optical Storage Laboratory, and the Novel Laser Technique and Application System Laboratory), and four R & D centers (the High Power Laser Unit Technique R & D Center, the Laser Application Engineering R & D Center, the Laser & Optoelectronic Functional Material R & D Center, and the Optical Coating Technology R & D Center), one Quality Management Center and One Information Center. The staffs are nearly 1,000. About 500 are researchers and technicians including over 200 professors and senior engineers. Annually, SIOM has an enrollment of 250 graduate students.

As one of the initial institutes for the Pilot Project of Knowledge Innovation Program of CAS, for meeting national strategic demands and international advanced research requirements, SIOM is devoted not only to basic research but to also high-tech. application and innovation research areas, which are strategic, basic, foward-looking.

SIOM undertakes Chinese Optics Letters, Acta Optica Sinica, Chinese Journal of Lasers, and Laser and Optoelectronics Progress.
