And the Impact Factor is…

Announcing the 2018 Impact Factor for APL Photonics

The Editorial Team at APL Photonics thanks the authors, reviewers, editors, board members, and readers of the journal for their continued support. Our 2018 Impact Factor validates the hard work and energy the community has given to the journal. It is only with your contributions that APL Photonics is able to continue to grow within its key categories. The papers with the strongest influence to the impact factor are from the following topical areas:

2ND-HARMONIC GENERATION
ACOUSTIC PHONONS
BLACK SILICON
BROAD-BAND
COHERENCE TIME
DETECTORS
ELECTROLUMINESCENCE
FABRICATION TOLERANT
FREQUENCY COMBS
FREQUENCY STABILIZATION
HIGH-TRANSMISSION

LUMINESCENCE
METAMATERIALS
METASURFACES
MICROCAVITIES
NANOCAVITY
NANOPARTICLES
