Article by Brueck et al makes the top 100 cited articles list in Optics Letters
February 10, 2017
Founded in 1916, The Optical Society (OSA) is the leading professional association in optics and photonics, home to accomplished science, engineering, and business leaders from all over the world. Through world-renowned publications, meetings, and membership programs, OSA provides quality information and inspiring interactions that power achievements in the science of light.
Since 1977, Optics Letters (OL), an OSA journal, has been advancing the science of optics and photonics by publishing high-quality papers rapidly. To celebrate their 40th anniversary, OL provides a year of free access to their most highly cited articles of all time, beginning with articles 51-100, which may be found here. All articles on the list are free to access throughout 2017. (Citation counts are from Clarivate Analytics as of January 4, 2017.)
Other historic material, including commemorative editorials, will be published at OL's 40th anniversary website throughout 2017. Articles 1-50 will appear later in the year.
At number 52, with 547 citations, is an article published by Professor Steven R. J. Brueck and co-authors in 1991, "Large second-order nonlinearity in poled fused silica," Opt. Lett. 16(22) 1732-1734 (1991).
The authors, Myers, R. A.; Mukherjee, N.; and Brueck, S. R. J were all affiliated with the UNM Center for High Technology Materials (CHTM) at the time.
