The journal aims to foster the development of research in Optics, Electronic engineering, Optical fiber, Optoelectronics and Wavelength-division multiplexing. Waveguide (optics), Refractive index, Laser, Single-mode optical fiber and Wavelength are among the concentrations of Optics that garnered much attention in Journal of Lightwave Technology. The Laser research dealing mostly with Semiconductor laser theory is the focus of Journal of Lightwave Technology.
The concepts on Electronic engineering presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Transmission (telecommunications) and Bit error rate. The work on Transmission (telecommunications) addressed in it expands to the thematically related Modulation. The study on Optical fiber presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Fiber.
Studies on Optoelectronics discussed in Journal of Lightwave Technology link to the field of Optical amplifier. Journal of Lightwave Technology investigates Wavelength-division multiplexing research which frequently intersects with Optical switch. Journal of Lightwave Technology explores research in Plastic optical fiber and overlapping concepts in Dispersion-shifted fiber to expand the discourse in Photonic-crystal fiber.
The journal articles focus on Optics, Electronic engineering, Optical fiber, Optoelectronics and Wavelength-division multiplexing. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Electronic engineering that incorporate concepts from other fields like Transmission (telecommunications) and Bit error rate. The most cited articles focus on Optical fiber but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Fiber and Dispersion (optics).
Journal of Lightwave Technology mostly deals with topics like Optoelectronics, Optics, Optical fiber, Electronic engineering and Transmission (telecommunications). The in-depth study on Optoelectronics also explores topics in the intersecting field of Laser. In the Optics research discussed, Interferometry, Fiber Bragg grating, Multi-mode optical fiber and Dispersion (optics) are all tackled.
Issues in Optical fiber were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Fiber and Optical polarization. The journal focuses on Electronic engineering but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Signal processing which is concerned with Digital signal processing. Optical communication, Wavelength-division multiplexing, Bit error rate, Signal and Quadrature amplitude modulation are some topics wherein Transmission (telecommunications) research discussed in it have an impact.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Lightwave Technology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Lightwave Technology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 8.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.27% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.96% of all publications and 57.59% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
