Proceedings

The submitted papers that successfully undergo reviewing procedure will be published in the Feature Issue of Applied Optics. Manuscript preparation rules are available here. 

This Applied Optics feature issue - to appear in the Information Processing division - will celebrate the scientific careers of Professors Antoni Sliwinski and Adrian Korpel through a sampling of current research topics in acousto-optics that they pioneered. Dr. Sliwinski published articles covering more than 40 years of research in acousto-optics, and was instrumental in the development of the Spring School on Acousto-Optics and Applications since 1980 that is regarded as a research center in acousto-optics in Poland and abroad. From his direct observation of optically induced generation and amplification of sound in the 1960s, to his development of the multiple plane-wave scattering model and Feynman diagram approach to interpret and analyze acousto-optic interactions in the 1980s and later, Dr. Korpel made many fundamental contributions to acousto-optics. Both Drs. Sliwinski and Korpel have authored numerous papers (including several that are regarded as classic), research monographs and books on the subject of acousto-optics. Along the way, they have guided and inspired many students and researchers to build their careers around acousto-optics and other areas of optics in general.
