Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on advancements in optics and photonics, particularly in areas such as metasurfaces, nanophotonics, and quantum technologies. Research explores novel optical systems, including lensless imaging, metalenses, and integrated photonic devices, for applications in information processing, quantum computing, and advanced imaging techniques. The scope also encompasses the manipulation of light at the nanoscale, the generation and control of topological light states like skyrmions, and the development of optical neural networks and other AI-driven photonic systems.
