Journal of the Optical Society of America B
- Journal of the Optical Society of America B
The "Journal of the Optical Society of America B" is a scientific journal, published by the Optical Society of America. It covers various topics in the field of optical physics. The journal title is often abbreviated J. Opt. Soc. Am. B or simply JOSA B.
JOSA B's lineage traces back to the original "Journal of the Optical Society of America", the first issue of which was in 1917. In 1984, JOSA split into two separate journals: JOSA A and JOSA B. 2008 will mark the 25th anniversary of this split.
JOSA B is overseen by a journal editor (as of 2007, Henry M. Van Driel of the University of Toronto) who coordinates with several editors in such topics as guided waves, laser spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, lasers, organic and polymer materials for optics, and ultrafast phenomena.
As with most peer-reviewed journals, the editors of JOSA B are unpaid; in this case, they are experts in various fields of optics who volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that the high quality of JOSA B is maintained. However, in this case, the careful choice of reviewers may take a month or even more.
