Abstract

We are pleased to present this feature issue, coordinated between the Journal of the Optical Society of America B (JOSA B) and the Journal of Lightwave Technology (JLT), on fundamental and applied aspects of slow light. The joint issue between the two journals reflects the tremendous breadth of this field; it is the strong feeling of the editors that research in slow light spans both fundamental and applied issues, and for this reason a joint venture between the two journals was in order.

The year 2015 is an auspicious year for optical science, as it is being celebrated as the International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies. This Focus Issue of the journals Optics Express and Journal of the Optical Society of America B has been organized by the OSA Technical Group on Optical Cooling and Trapping to mark this occasion, and to highlight the most recent and exciting developments in the topics covered by the group. Together this joint Focus Issue features 32 papers, including both experimental and theoretical works, which span this wide range of activities.

Atoms to optics - the overlap betweenJ. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys.andJ. Opt. B: Quantum Semiclass. Opt.explained

Following the recent publications of the special issues, `Coherent matter waves' in Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics and `Quantum transport of atoms in optical lattices' in Journal of Optics B: Quantum and Semiclassical Optics , we would like to take this opportunity to clarify the situation regarding the overlap of topics in the two journals. As a not-for-profit publisher we believe in serving the communities represented by the journals and wish to offer as much choice to the authors and readers as possible. For example, in relation to atoms and optics we are in an excellent position to offer this choice as we have two world-class journals that cover all aspects of atom optics, guaranteeing maximum exposure to the communities involved. Both journals have high impact factors and both are abstracted in INSPEC Information Services; Chemical Abstracts; ISI (Science Citation Index®, SciSearch®, ISI Alerting Services, Current Contents®/Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences), to name but a few. The journal web sites are highly accessed with a combined average of over 20 000 views per month in 2000. Please feel free to view the journal information pages on www.iop.org/Journals/jb and www.iop.org/Journals/ob . We welcome submissions from all aspects of atom optics, coherent matter waves and Bose-Einstein condensation with atoms. We encourage authors to look at both journals and decide which journal would provide the best home for their article. We, at the Editorial Office, are happy to help if there is any doubt. Additionally Professor Arimondo (Editor-in-Chief, J. Opt. B: Quantum Semiclass. Opt. ) and Professor Burnett (Honorary Editor, J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. ) have drawn up some basic guidelines as to which topics sit better in which journal. These are shown below and are meant to aid the author when deciding which journal to submit to, but are not meant to be prescriptive in any way. Ultimately it is the authors' decision and we will always respect that. If at anytime you have any queries or comments, please do contact us at the Editorial Office. Nicola Gulley Publisher J. Phys.
