IEEE Photonics is an online-only rapid publication archival journal of top quality research at the fore-front of Photonics.  Photonics integrates quantum electronics and optics to accelerate progress in the generation of novel photon sources and in their utilization in emerging applications at the micro and nano scales spanning from the far-infrared/THz to the x-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. 

Original short and full length contributions to IEEE Photonics are welcome.  Contributions can address issues ranging from fundamental understanding to emerging technologies and applications.  The scope of the Journal includes topics in: 

-   Photon sources from far infrared to x-rays
-   Photonics materials and engineered photonic structures
-   Ultrafast, attosecond, high field and short wavelength photonics
-   Biophotonics including DNA photonics
-   Nanophotonics
-   Magnetophotonics
-   Fundamentals and applications of  light propagation and interaction; nonlinear effects
-   Optical data storage
-   Integrated optics and optoelectronics
-   Micro and Nano Opto-Electro Mechanical Systems (MOEMS)
-   Microwave photonics
-   Optical sensors,  imaging, and  visualization
-   Quantum computing

IEEE Photonics offers Open Access on demand only.  Its new publishing platform allows authors to link multimedia and other supplemental material.
