1、Attention Optics Express Authors Optics Express has made significant changes to its production process by creating archival-quality XML along with the PDF output. XML is the industry standard for producing and archiving scientific journal articles and is used in producing all other OSA journals. Ha

2、ving full-text XML will allow Optics Express to be indexed more accurately and completely in MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and other databases; it will also allow the journal to meet its archival obligations and to prepare for new services such as full-text semantic search and repurposing of content.

3、In order to prevent delays in production, we ask that authors carefully adhere to the following new guidelines: · Word and LaTeX. OSA accepts Word and LaTeX submissions; however, we encourage authors to submit papers in MS Word. OSA will not publish the same Word file that authors submit for thei

4、r final revisions, so it is imperative that authors carefully check the final version of their paper before paying the publication fee. OSA uses a Word plug-in called eXtyles to normalize, format, tag, and parse the file into full-text XML. eXtyles automatically reformats, checks, and updates the re

5、ferences against the CrossRef and PubMed databases. In addition to running other auto-redact editing rules, eXtyles checks all reference, figure, table and equation callouts in the text to ensure all items are cited. At this time full-text XML will be generated from LaTeX papers after publication.

6、 · Author listing. All authors must be grouped together using superscripts to callout each affiliation. Hard returns (Enter key) must be used to separate each individual affiliation. Soft-returns (Shift + Enter key) should be use for line breaks within a single paragraph. · Main text. Authors mus

7、t identify equations and figures in the text by inserting Fig. or Eq. before the number. All references, figures, and tables must be called out in the text in the order they appear. · Figures. Authors must use one image file per figure. Figures need to be inserted as objects that are fixed and mov

8、e with the text, not as floating objects. Figures should never be placed in a table environment. · Tables. Authors must use Word’s Table editor to insert tables. Authors must not import tables from Excel. All content for each table should be in a single Word table (do not split content for a sing

9、le table across multiple Word tables). · Equations. The Express journals not accept equations built using the Word 2007 Equation Builder. All equations should be created in MathType (or the Microsoft Equation editor from Design Science). We strongly encourage authors to use MathType 6.7. Note that

10、 LaTeX users can type LaTeX code directly into MathType for rendering in Word. Adherence to the above guidelines will significantly expedite the production of your paper. Instructions for the preparation of a manuscript for Optics Express Joseph Richardson,1,* Chris Videll,2 and Jennifer Mart

29、ord “Abstract:” in bold print followed by a colon. Indent left and right margins 1.27 cm (0.5 in.). Font size should be 10-pt. and alignment double (left and right) justified. The abstract should be limited to approximately 100 words. It should be an explicit summary of the paper that states

30、the problem, the methods used, and the major results and conclusions. It also should contain the relevant key words that would allow it to be found in a cursory computerized search. If the work of another author is cited in the abstract, a separate citation should be included in the body of the text

31、. Do not include numbers, bullets, or lists inside the abstract. 4.5. Copyright The line immediately following the abstract should be © 2007 Optical Society of America in 9-pt. type. Indentation should match the abstract, i.e., 1.27 cm (0.5 in.). Insert a 4-pt. space above and below the copyri

32、ght line. See the first page of these instructions. 4.6 OCIS subject classification Optics Classification and Indexing Scheme (OCIS) subject classifications should be included at the end of the abstract. List the OCIS code in parenthesis, followed by the term spelled out; separate OCIS terms with

33、semicolons. Each paper must contain two to six OCIS codes. Use 8-pt. type for this line. For a complete list of OCIS codes, visit this site: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/submit/ocis/ OCIS codes: (260.1440) Birefringence; (050.1950) Diffraction gratings 4.7 Main text The first line of the first p

34、aragraph of a section or subsection should start flush left. The first line of subsequent paragraphs within the section or subsection should be indented 0.62 cm (0.2 in.). All main text should be alignment double (left and right) justified. Section headings may be numbered consecutively and

35、consistently throughout the paper in Arabic numbers and typed in bold. Use an initial capital letter followed by lowercase, except for proper names, abbreviations, etc. Always start headings flush left. Do not include references to the literature, illustrations, or tables in headings. Insert a 6

36、-pt. space above and below each section heading as shown in this paper. Subsection headings may be numbered consecutively in Arabic numbers to the right of the decimal point, with the section number to the left of the decimal point as shown in this paper. Subsection headings should be in ital

37、ics, with an initial capital letter followed by lowercase, except for proper names, abbreviations, etc. Start subsection headings flush left. Do not include references to the literature, illustrations, or tables in headings. Create a 6-pt. space above and below each subsection heading as shown in

38、this paper. Numbering of section headings and subsection headings is optional but must be used consistently throughout papers in which it is applied. 4.8 Equations The Express journals do not accept equations built using the Word 2007 Equation Builder. All equations should be created in Mat

39、hType (or the Microsoft Equation editor from Design Science). We strongly encourage authors to use MathType 6.7. Note that LaTeX users can type LaTeX code directly into MathType for rendering in Word. Equations should be centered, unless they are so long that less than 1 cm will be left between th

40、e end of the equation and the equation number, in which case they may run on to the next line. Equations should have a 6-pt. space above and below the text. Equation numbers should appear at the right-hand margin, in parenthesis. For long equations, the equation number may appear on the next line.

41、 For very long equations, the right side of the equation should be broken into approximately equal parts and aligned to the right of the equal sign. The equation number should appear only at the right hand margin of the last line of the equation: (1) All equations should be numbered in the order

42、 in which they appear and should be referenced from within the main text as Eq. (1). In-line math of simple fractions should use parentheses when necessary to avoid ambiguity; for example, to distinguish between 1/(n - 1) and 1/n - 1. Exceptions to this are the proper fractions such as , whi

43、ch are better left in this form. Summations and integrals that appear within text such as should have limits placed to the right of the symbol to reduce white space. Use MS Word Equation Editor or MathType for in-text and display notation wherever possible. 4.9 References and links References sh

44、ould appear at the top of the article, below the abstract, in the order in which they are referenced in the body of the paper (see below). The font should be 8-pt. aligned left. Lines should be single-spaced. The words “References and links” should head the section (no number) in bold print followe

45、d by one blank line, directly above the first reference. Insert a 6-pt. space above the “References and links” line. All references should be indented 0.5 cm (0.2 in), with succeeding lines indented sufficiently to preserve alignment. The references section should be delimited by horizontal rules ab

46、ove and below the section, separated by at least 6-pts. of white space from the text. Optics Express uses numerical notation in brackets for bibliographic citations. At the point of citation within the main text, designate the reference by typing the number in after the last corresponding wo

47、rd [1]. Reference numbers should proceed a comma or period [2]. Two references [3,4], should be included together, separated by a comma, while three or more consecutive references should be indicated by the bounding numbers and a dash [1-4]. Optics Express follows the following citation style:
