The PHOTONICS RUSSIA journal is published under the scientific and methodological guidance of the Russian scientific community, representing Laser Association (http://www.cislaser.com), an international organization uniting developers and users of laser products, optical and optoelectronic technologies in the territory CIS.

The journal publishes original scientific articles and reviews on the current state of the most urgent problems of photonics and related sciences, brief notes, design solutions and product reviews of optical and photonic enterprises and companies, as well as scientific reports recommended by the program committees of the journal’s partner conferences. The accepted materials must correspond to the profile of the journal and reflect the results of original scientific research of technical solutions of the authors, as well as the technology of transferring the results of fundamental research into technology. All articles must be accompanied by relevant documents for publication, drawn up in the prescribed manner. Manuscripts of articles are accepted in Russian and/or English.

An original article refers to material that contains the results of scientific or applied technological research, a description of an experiment, or the use of a new research method. The main condition for accepting the manuscript for consideration and publication is that the material submitted has not been previously published or submitted for review and publication in another scientific journal.

The figures are represented as separate files, if their number is more than three, then they should be presented in the form of an archive in zip or rar format. A text file is presented separately with a translation into English of the title of the article and its abstract and keywords, surnames of the authors, indicating the names of organizations, contacts of all authors. The size of both Russian and English abstracts should not exceed 1,000 characters.

Dear authors of the manuscripts submitted to the PHOTONICS journal, You, of course, are well aware that the DOI and ORCID indicators are indispensable attributes of scientific publications and researchers. The editors of the PHOTONICS RUSSIA journal must also specify these indicators in the metadata of published articles. The PHOTONICS RUSSIA journal was established in 2007 by RIC TECHNOSPHERE Publishing House. The PHOTONICS RUSSIA journal assigns a DOI number to all of its publications. This right is granted to the Publishing House by the CrossRef association, as its partner. But another indicator, ORCID ID, must be informed to the editorial office.

A list of references is given in English.

When compiling a list of references, please, do not forget to give an exact link to the DOI of the source, otherwise the links to the source will not be taken into account as quoting.

We encourage the use of Vancouver Style.
