With a focus on innovative applications, ACS Applied Optical Materials also complements and expands the scope of existing ACS publications that focus on fundamental aspects of the interaction between light and matter in materials science including ACS Photonics, Macromolecules, The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, ACS Nano, and Nano Letters.  \nThe scope of ACS Applied Optical Materials includes high quality research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in materials science, chemistry, physics, optical science, and engineering.  \nManuscripts that are essentially reporting data or applications of data are, in general, not suitable for publication in ACS Applied Optical Materials. All manuscripts are subject to critical, anonymous peer review. It is to be understood that the final decision relating to a manuscript’s suitability rests solely with the Editor.  \nCorrespondence should be addressed to the Deputy Editor at [eic@aom.acs.org](eic@aom.acs.org).  \nManuscript Types  \nACS Applied Optical Materials publishes 5 types of papers: Letters, Articles, Perspectives, Reviews, and Spotlights.  \nA. Letters are short articles that report results whose immediate availability to the applied Optical science and engineering community is deemed important. Letters are restricted to 2,500 words or the equivalent (8 double-spaced word-processed pages of text and 3-4 figures), and no more than 30 references. A brief abstract of less than 100 words should be included along with 5-7 keywords. Letters are intended to provide rapid communication of important results and should be written in a form that is engaging and easy to follow. The narrative should flow continuously, without separate subsections, through introductory material, followed by a sufficient outline of the experiment to allow the reader to follow what was done, results presented and described in a way that captures their essential details, and concluding remarks. Experimental details that are not essential to the understanding of the Letter but that would be useful for those trying to reproduce the experiment or in providing helpful additional information for experts should be included as supporting information. Letters often will be complete publications, but follow-up publications may occasionally be justified when the research is continued, and a more complete account of the work is deemed necessary. Special efforts will be made to expedite the reviewing and publication of Letters. The time for proofreading the galley proofs is relatively short. For this reason, authors of Letters should ensure that manuscripts are in final, error-free form when submitted.  \nB. Articles should cover their subjects with thoroughness, clarity, and completeness but should be as concise as possible. The narrative for Articles should be divided into the following six subsections: (1) an Abstract, that should summarize the significant results and conclusions, limited to 300 words and followed by 5-7 keywords,(2) Introduction,(3) Results and Discussion,(4) Conclusions,(5)  \nExperimental Section, and (6) References, typically limited to 70.  \nArticles are scheduled for publication in the order of acceptance within limitations of available space. Articles describing related work divided into two or more manuscripts (e.g., part 1, part 2…) submitted concurrently are strongly discouraged.  \nC. Perspectives are brief reports (3–5 journal pages) summarizing an emerging research area or finding of particular interest to applied materials and/or interfaces. Perspectives can also elaborate on important unanswered questions and approaches being taken to address them.
