About the journal
Progress in Optics
In the thirty-seven years that have gone by since the first volume of Progress in Optics was published, optics has become one of the most dynamic fields of science. At the time of inception of this series, the first lasers were only just becoming operational, holography was in its infancy, subjects such as fiber optics, integrated optics and optoelectronics did not exist and quantum optics was the domain of only a few physicists. The term photonics had not yet been coined. Today these fields are flourishing and have become areas of specialisation for many science and engineering students and numerous research workers and engineers throughout the world. Some of the advances in these fields have been recognized by awarding Nobel prizes to seven physicists in the last twenty years. The volumes in this series which have appeared up to now contain nearly 190 review articles by distinguished research workers, which have become permanent records for many important developments. They have helped optical scientists and optical engineers to stay abreast of their fields. There is no sign that developments in optics are slowing down or becoming less interesting. We confidently expect that, just like their predecessors, future volumes of Progress in Optics will faithfully record the most important advances that are being made in optics and related fields.

 Professor Emil Wolf has been the Editor of the series Progress in Optics since its inception in 1961. Thirty-nine volumes have now been published, the first one in 1961.
Professor Wolf received a Ph.D. degree from Bristol University (England) in 1948 and a D.Sc. Degree from Edinburgh University (Scotland) in 1955. He is presently the Wilson Professor of Optical Physics and Professor of Optics at the University of Rochester.
Professor Wolf's main researches are in physical optics, particularly in studies of coherence properties of optical fields, spectroscopy of partially coherent radiation, diffraction and the theory of direct and inverse scattering. He is the co-author, with Nobel Laureate Max Born, of a well-known book Principles of Optics, first published in 1959 and now in its sixth edition. He is also the co-author, with Leonard Mandel, of Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics, published in 1995.
Professor Wolf is the recipient of numerous awards for his scientific contributions and is an honorary member of the Optical Society of America, of which he was the President in 1978. He is also an honorary member of the Optical Societies of India and Australia and is the recipient of five honorary degrees from Universities in the Netherlands, Great Britain, the Czech Republic and in Canada. | |
