First Announcement and Call for Papers for a New IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology (Nov. 1982 Transactions)

The IEEE wishes to announce the publication of a new journal dedicated to the expanding field of guided wave technology. The first issue is scheduled for publication in March 1983 and quarterly thereafter for the remainder of 1983. In 1984, bimonthly publication is planned. This new journal is intended to be the principal forum for publication of guided light technology papers and recognizes the growth and importance of this technology area. Participating IEEE Societies include: Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Circuits and Systems, Communications, Computers, Electron Devices, Instrumentation and Measurement, Microwave Theory and Techniques. Quantum Electronics and Applications, and Sonics and Ultrasonics. Wide distribution is planned through the Optical Society of America and the IEEE, and the pricing of the journal to subscribers will further ensure a circulation to a large number of individuals and institutions.
