Topical Issues: Thematic
The European Optical Society together with EDP Sciences periodically publish online, open access topical issues on specific topics in the Journal of the EOS, JEOS-RP.
Open and Upcoming Topical Issues:
Advances in Photonics: Signal Processing, Sensing and Communications in the Underwater Environment
The underwater and marine environment presents a demanding setting for optical and photonic systems. Propagation, sensing performance and system reliability are shaped by absorption, scattering, turbulence, pressure, salinity, biofouling, platform motion and complex water–seabed–infrastructure interfaces. This Topical Issue invites research papers, review papers and short communications reporting significant advances in optical and photonic signal processing, sensing and communications for underwater and marine applications.
PLASMONICA Collection
PLASMONICA is affiliated to the Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF) as the Plasmonics and Nano-Optics Working Group. Its core mission is gathering the nanophotonics community in Italy as well as facilitating international scientific collaborations, personnel exchange, dissemination events (seminars and workshops), and outreach initiatives.
The European Optical Society offers to the active members of the PLASMONICA community the possibility to submit an extended article/short communication. These publications will contribute to an open-ended collection of research papers, gathering and highlighting the ongoing research of the PLASMONICA community.
All 2024-2025 articles are also collected in this booklet for a better overview:

Closed Topical Issues:
Recent advances and trends on lasers and nonlinear materials and sources for near-Infrared
This Topical Issue welcomes articles reporting on recent advances in laser and nonlinear materials to address the remaining scientific and technological challenges of solid-state sources for the near infrared. Materials include bulk and structured crystals, glasses and ceramics, and fibers and waveguides. Improvements in power, efficiency, brightness, stability, wavelength coverage, pulse width, design and applications will be considered.
THz imaging
This Topical Issue highlights research in terahertz imaging, covering innovations in both methodology and applications. Featured works explore nondestructive stratigraphic reconstruction of multilayered materials using terahertz time-of-flight tomography, optimized active sub-terahertz scanning systems for concealed-object detection, and the characterization of far-field terahertz beam profiles generated from two-color femtosecond laser pulses.
