Optica Publishing Group publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.

Optical Materials Express (OMEx), Optica Publishing Group's open access, rapid-review journal, primarily emphasizes advances in both conventional and novel optical materials, their properties, theory and modeling, synthesis and fabrication approaches for optics and photonics; how such materials contribute to novel optical behavior; and how they enable new or improved optical devices. The journal covers a full range of topics, including, but not limited to:

Artificially structured media, metasurfaces and metamaterials
Bio-materials, bio-inspired materials and bio-sensors
Computation and first-principle methods
Crystalline and dielectric optical materials
Doped and fiber optical materials
Epitaxial photonic materials
Fluorescent and luminescent materials
Glass and other amorphous materials
Laser materials and processing
Materials for integrated optics, optomechanics and quantum optics
Nanostructures and nanomaterials
Nonlinear, electro-optical and magneto-optical materials
Optical materials for photovoltaics and energy applications
Organics, polymers and soft matter, liquid crystals
Plasmonics and polaritonics
Self-assembly and templated assembly for photonic materials
Stimuli-responsive, reconfigurable and programmable optical materials
Thin films and flexible materials
Two-dimensional materials
Wide-bandgap optical materials
Optical Materials Express considers original research articles, feature issue contributions, invited reviews, and comments on published articles. The Journal also publishes occasional short (four-page maximum excluding references), timely opinion articles from experts and thought-leaders in the field on current or emerging topic areas that are generating significant interest.
