Journal of the Optical Society of America A 30th Anniversary: Editorial

摘要

Journal of the Optical Society of America A Editor-in-Chief, Franco Gori, announces the 30th Anniversary of the journal. In January 1984, The Optical Society (OSA) launched two new journals, Journal of the Optical Society of America A (JOSA A) and Journal of the Optical Society of America B (JOSA B), out of its flagship journal, JOSA. With the launch of JOSA A, the journal cover changed and it began to solicit material when appropriate, including feature issues and review articles. As William T. Rhodes described in his 1984 Optics News article outlining the changes, the journal was to single out the area of image science and emphasize that "JOSA A remains the general journal of OSA for basic material".
