The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Optoelectronics, Optics, Laser, Photonics and Plasmon. The work on Optoelectronics addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Ultrashort pulse. Polarization (waves), Wavelength, Nonlinear optics, Metamaterial and Photon are all topics related to Optics research discussed.
The majority of Laser studies in Laser & Photonics Reviews are focused on the subject of Femtosecond. The journal addresses concerns in Photonics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Nanotechnology, Nanophotonics and Photonic crystal. The journal tackles issues in Plasmon, particularly in the topics of Surface plasmon and Surface plasmon polariton.
The work on Silicon presented in Laser & Photonics Reviews focuses on Silicon photonics in particular.
The most cited articles mainly tackle studies in Optoelectronics, Optics, Laser, Photonics and Nanotechnology. Optoelectronics study tackled in the published papers is connected to the field of Broadband. Issues in Photonics were discussed in the most cited publications, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Waveguide (optics), Electronic engineering, Bandwidth (signal processing) and Engineering physics.
Laser & Photonics Reviews primarily tackles Optoelectronics, Photonics, Laser, Optics and Terahertz radiation. While Optoelectronics is the focus of Laser & Photonics Reviews, it also provided insights into the studies of Ultrashort pulse and Femtosecond. The journal focuses on Photonics as well as the interrelated topic of Nanophotonics.
The Laser study featured in it draws connections with the study of Semiconductor. Phase (waves) and Dielectric are some topics wherein Optics research discussed in Laser & Photonics Reviews have an impact. The study on Terahertz radiation presented in Laser & Photonics Reviews intersects with subjects under the field of Frequency comb.
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 Laser & Photonics Reviews (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 Laser & Photonics Reviews (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, 16.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 39.23% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.65% of all publications and 30.94% 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.

(2021)Studying physics in the USA opens doors to diverse career paths, many of which can be complemented by additional online degrees. For those interested in applying scientific principles in the legal sector, exploring careers in forensics offers a compelling option. This field combines physics with investigative techniques to aid law enforcement and legal processes.
Another unique trajectory is becoming an athletic director. While it may seem unrelated, physics graduates bring valuable analytical and problem-solving skills to sports management, enhancing performance optimization and facility operations.
For those aiming to further their education, the availability of cheapest accredited online doctoral programs can make pursuing a PhD more accessible and affordable. Advanced degrees often lead to research, teaching, or specialized industry roles in physics and related sciences.
Additionally, blending creativity and technical expertise through a graphic design bachelor degree can enable physics graduates to excel in fields like scientific visualization, digital content creation, or educational media.
