Journals

Optical Technology Groups:

Astronomical, Aeronautic, and Space Optics: Optical experiments from airborne and spaceborne platforms.

Lithography: Optical aspects of pattern transfer especially for reproduction of micro-features for microelectronics circuit fabrication.

Optical Design: Lens design, optical systems design, and optical engineering.

Optical Fabrication and Testing: Fabrication, assembly, and testing of optical components and lens systems, shop standards.

Optical Thin Films: Optical coatings, plastic optics, and various methods of epitaxy.

Systems and Instrumentation: Integration of optical components and subsystems to form complete optic and electro-optical instruments and systems.
