Call For Papers

Optical Materials is an academic journal published by Elsevier. (ISSN 0925-3467, impact factor 4.2).

An International Journal on the Physics and Chemistry of Optical Materials and their Applications, including Devices Optical Materials has an open access companion journal Optical Materials: X which has the same editorial board and peer-review process. To submit to Optical Materials: X visit https://www.editorialmanager.com/OMX/default.aspx. Optical Materials provides a means for communicating advances in the materials enabling of optical devices and applications. The journal publishes original papers and invited reviews on the synthesis, properties, and uses of optical materials. Optical Materials focuses on: Optical properties of materials; The enabling Materials aspects of optical phenomena; The underlying Materials aspects of optical and photonic devices and applications. Manuscripts should focus on and explicitly describe new material, process, property, and application advancements and not incremental improvements. Manuscripts reporting purely computational results without direct experimental validation falls outside of the scope of this journal and should be submitted to our open access companion, Optical Materials X. Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.

Special Issues

Special Issue on honor of the 60th anniversary of Kao and Hockham Submission Date: 2026-09-30 Optical fibres have proven to be transformative technologies with wide-ranging applications in telecommunications, high-power lasers, lighting, materials processing, and real-time monitoring. Recent advances have enabled the integration of novel materials and complex structures within individual fibres, unlocking unprecedented performance and multifunctionality. This special issue highlights the latest developments in optical fibres, covering new materials, innovative structures, advanced fabrication techniques, and emerging functionalities. Submissions addressing practical applications are particularly welcome, especially those that emphasise the unique advantages of fibre-based platforms compared to existing technologies. We invite contributions, including but not limited to: Materials for optical fibres. Innovative fibre structures. Advanced fabrication and processing techniques. Fibre-based sensing technologies. Enhanced fibre functionalities beyond light transmission. Applications of optical fibres.
