Aims and Scope
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.

Optical Materials Express (OMEx), OSA's open-access, rapid-review journal, primarily emphasizes advances in both conventional and novel optical materials, their properties, theory and modeling, synthesis and fabrication approaches for optics and photonics; how such materials contribute to novel optical behavior; and how they enable new or improved optical devices. The journal covers a full range of topics, including, but not limited to:

Artificially engineered optical structures
Biomaterials
Optical detector materials
Optical storage media
Materials for integrated optics
Nonlinear optical materials
Laser materials
Metamaterials
Nanomaterials
Organics and polymers
Soft materials
IR materials
Materials for fiber optics
Hybrid technologies
Materials for quantum photonics
Optical Materials Express considers original research articles, feature issue contributions, invited reviews, and comments on published articles. The Journal also publishes occasional short, timely opinion articles from experts and thought-leaders in the field on current or emerging topic areas that are generating significant interest.

Overall, the journal experience was good. If in a hurry, the editorial team will quickly provide processing results. Reviewers are also very serious, one reviewer gave 9 major revision suggestions and 6 minor revision suggestions, with a high evaluation. At first, it was difficult to handle, but we tried our best to respond and made experimental improvements where possible. Generally, if the major revisions can achieve a score of 75 or above, they will be accepted with minor revisions. Keep up the good work.
