光學和光子學的迅速發展使其應用范圍大大擴展到信息和通信技術、安全、傳感、生物和醫學、醫療保健和化學等多個領域。其他科學的最新成就使人們能夠不斷地發現新的自然奧秘，并為需要進一步發展現代概念和進行基礎研究的光學制定具有挑戰性的目標。《歐洲光學學會期刊——快速出版》（JEOS:RP）旨在以快速、科學、高質量的交流形式解決上述所有問題，報告最新發現。它介紹了新興技術，并概述了光學和光子學的戰略目標。該雜志涵蓋了基礎和應用主題，包括但不限于：經典與量子光學光/物質相互作用光通信微光學和納米光學非線性光學現象光學材料光學計量學光學光譜學色彩研究納米和超材料現代光子學技術光學工程、設計和儀器光學在生物物理和醫學中的應用利用光子學的跨學科領域，如能源、氣候變化和文化遺產該雜志旨在為讀者提供最近在光學/光子學領域取得的重要成就，顧名思義，它力求盡可能縮短出版時間。

Rapid progress in optics and photonics has broadened its application enormously into many branches, including information and communication technology, security, sensing, bio- and medical sciences, healthcare and chemistry.Recent achievements in other sciences have allowed continual discovery of new natural mysteries and formulation of challenging goals for optics that require further development of modern concepts and running fundamental research.The Journal of the European Optical Society – Rapid Publications (JEOS:RP) aims to tackle all of the aforementioned points in the form of prompt, scientific, high-quality communications that report on the latest findings. It presents emerging technologies and outlining strategic goals in optics and photonics.The journal covers both fundamental and applied topics, including but not limited to:Classical and quantum opticsLight/matter interactionOptical communicationMicro- and nanopticsNonlinear optical phenomenaOptical materialsOptical metrologyOptical spectroscopyColour researchNano and metamaterialsModern photonics technologyOptical engineering, design and instrumentationOptical applications in bio-physics and medicineInterdisciplinary fields using photonics, such as in energy, climate change and cultural heritage The journal aims to provide readers with recent and important achievements in optics/photonics and, as its name suggests, it strives for the shortest possible publication time.
