Aims and Scope
Optics and Lasers in Engineering aims at providing an international forum for the interchange of information on the development of optical techniques and laser technology in engineering. Emphasis is placed on contributions targeted at the practical use of methods and devices, the development and enhancement of solutions and new theoretical concepts for experimental methods.

Optics and Lasers in Engineering reflects the main areas in which optical methods are being used and developed for an engineering environment. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers focusing on parameter optimization or computational issues are not suitable. Similarly, papers focussed on an application rather than the optical method fall outside the journal's scope. The scope of the journal is defined to include the following:

-Optical Metrology-
Optical Methods for 3D visualization and virtual engineering-
Optical Techniques for Microsystems-
Imaging, Microscopy and Adaptive Optics-
Computational Imaging-
Laser methods in manufacturing-
Integrated optical and photonic sensors-
Optics and Photonics in Life Science-
Hyperspectral and spectroscopic methods-
Infrared and Terahertz techniques

I would like to ask everyone if the choice of the article handling editor during the submission process has a significant impact on the speed of the review. You can choose either the editor-in-chief or one of the two deputy editors as the article handling editor. The latest issue of the journal has accepted articles within one year, while others were accepted within three months, showing a significant difference.

I am working on optical engineering related to general processing and forming. There are very few options for high-level journals in this field, with Optics Express (OE) and Applied Optics (AO) being open access. I am not sure about the review process of Precision Engineering and whether it is fast or not.

I noticed that Professor Zuo Chao has submitted many papers on computational optics to this journal, so I came here with great admiration.

To be honest, it's really low to say this, but the reason for my rejection was a lack of theoretical analysis, and I intentionally skipped this part because I found it troublesome. Also, I was insulted by a reviewer of this journal before, so it's normal to have animosity. However, the editor is still responsible and recommended me for resubmission, and it's almost certain that I will be accepted now. It's just that the reviewer is an idiot. As for the quality issue of the journal itself, there are good articles, but at the same time, there are also very trashy articles. However, due to the good writing skills and detailed content, even without any innovative points, they can still be accepted. The main purpose of me submitting to this journal is to find that reviewer who insulted me before, as I couldn't let it go.
