Attention Optics Express Authors Optics Express has made significant changes to its production process by creating archival-quality XML along with the PDF output. XML is the industry standard for producing and archiving scientific journal articles and is used in producing all other OSA journals. Having full-text XML will allow Optics Express to be indexed more accurately and completely in MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and other databases; it will also allow the journal to meet its archival obligations and to prepare for new services such as full-text semantic search and repurposing of content. In order to prevent delays in production, we ask that authors carefully adhere to the following new guidelines: l Word and LaTeX. OSA accepts Word and LaTeX submissions; however, we encourage authors to submit papers in MS Word. OSA will not publish the same Word file that authors submit for their final revisions, so it is imperative that authors carefully check the final version of their paper before paying the publication fee. OSA uses a Word plug-in called eXtyles to normalize, format, tag, and parse the file into full-text XML. eXtyles automatically reformats, checks, and updates the references against the CrossRef and PubMed databases. In addition to running other auto-redact editing rules, eXtyles checks all reference, figure, table and equation callouts in the text to ensure all items are cited. At this time full-text XML will be generated from LaTeX papers after publication. l Author listing. All authors must be grouped together using superscripts to callout each affiliation. Hard returns (Enter key) must be used to separate each individual affiliation. Soft-returns (Shift + Enter key) should be use for line breaks within a single paragraph. l Main text. Authors must identify equations and figures in the text by inserting Fig. or Eq. before the number. All references, figures, and tables must be called out in the text. l Figures. Authors must use one image file per figure. Figures need to be inserted as objects that are fixed and move with the text, not as floating objects. Figures should never be placed in a table environment. l Tables. Authors must use Word’s Table editor to insert tables. Authors must not import tables from Excel. All content for each table should be in a single Word table (do not split content for a single table across multiple Word tables). l Equations. OSA does not accept equations built using the Word 2007 Equation Builder. All equations should be created in MathType (or the Microsoft Equation editor from Design Science). See Instructions for Users of Word 2007/DOCX for details. We strongly encourage authors to use MathType 6.5. Note that LaTeX users can type LaTeX code directly into MathType for rendering in Word. Adherence to the above guidelines will significantly expedite the production of your paper. Instructions for the preparation of a manuscript for Optics Express Joseph Richardson,1,* Antoinette Wrighton,2 and Jennifer Martin2,3 1Department of Peer Review, Optical Society of America, 2010 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036, USA 2Department of Editorial Services, Optical Society of America, 2010 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036, USA 3Currently with the Department of Electronic Journals, Optical Society of America, 2010 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036, USA *xyx@osa.org Abstract:  Explicit and detailed rules are given for preparing a manuscript for Optics Express.  After a general introduction and a summary of the basic requirements, specific guidelines are given for all major manuscript elements (such as abstract, headings, figures, tables, and references) to achieve optimal typographic quality.  The use of complete and properly formatted references is particularly important. 2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (000.0000) General; (000.2700) General science.

Introduction Adherence to the specifications listed in this style guide is essential for efficient review and publication of submissions. Since Optics Express paper are not routinely copyedited and typeset, use of the Optics Express macros and style guide is critical to providing a consistent appearance. Except for numbering and titling of sections, which may not be desirable for short articles, the Optics Express style and layout rules have been followed in this guide. Also note that there is a checklist available in Section 6 that summarizes the style specifications. 2. Page layout and length Paper size should be U.S. Letter, 21.505 cm x 27.83 cm (8.5 in. x 11 in.). The printing area should be set to 13.28 cm x 21.54 cm (5.25 in. x 8.5 in.); margins should be set for a 2.54-cm (1 in.) top and 4.11-cm (1.625 in.) left, right, and bottom. To maintain a rapid publication cycle, the recommended page length for an Optics Express article is 6 pages. Higher publication fees apply to articles 7-15 pages in length. There is an additional fee for manuscripts longer than 15 pages. 3. Software Optics Express accepts Word and TeX files. OSA strongly encourages authors to submit papers in MS Word rather than in LaTeX. 4. Typographical style All fonts for text should be some version of Times New Roman.  Text should be 10-pt., the title should be 18-pt., and the affiliation and references should be 8-pt.  Do not add hyphenation at the end of a line. 4.1 Title Center the title.  The title should be in 18-pt. bold font. Use initial cap for first word in title or for proper nouns. Use lowercase following colon. Title should not begin with an article or contain the words "first," "new" or "novel." 4.2 Author name Center author names in 10-pt. bold font. Author names should appear as used for conventional publication, with first and middle names or initials followed by surname.  Every effort should be made to keep author names consistent from one paper to the next as they appear within OSA publications.  4.3 Author affiliation All authors and affiliations should be styled in the following below. If all authors share one affiliation, superscript numbers are not needed. The corresponding author will have an asterisk indicating footnote. All authors must be grouped together using superscripts to callout each affiliation. Hard returns (Enter key) must be used to separate each individual affiliation. Soft-returns (Shift + Enter key) should be use for line breaks within a single paragraph. Abbreviations should not be used. Center the e-mail address of author(s) directly below the affiliation. Please include the country at the end of the affiliation.
