History

• Founding: Optical Materials Express was founded in 2011 by the Optical Society of America (OSA), now Optica, as an open access journal dedicated to optical materials and photonics.创刊： 《光学材料快报》于 2011 年由美国光学学会（现 Optica）创办，是一份专注于光学材料与光子学的开放获取期刊。
• Optica Publishing Group: the journal is published by Optica Publishing Group, the publishing arm of Optica, which was formerly known as the Optical Society of America until its rebranding in 2020.Optica 出版集团： 该刊由 Optica 出版集团出版，该集团是 Optica 的出版部门。Optica 前身为美国光学学会，于 2020 年更名。
• Open access model: from its inception the journal has been fully open access, with all articles freely available to readers and article processing charges payable by authors.开放获取模式： 自创刊起该刊即完全开放获取，所有文章向读者免费开放，文章处理费由作者支付。
• Editorial leadership: Andrea Alù was appointed editor-in-chief starting in January 2022, succeeding the previous editorial team and guiding the journal's continued development in optical materials research.编辑领导： 安德烈亚·阿卢（Andrea Alù）于 2022 年 1 月起出任主编，继承前任编辑团队，引领该刊在光学材料研究领域的持续发展。

Editors

The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by an international editorial board and associate editors:该刊由主编领导，国际编委会与副编辑协助工作：
