Authors' Guidelines

1. Scope of solicitation

Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves is an academic journal approved by the National Press and Publication Administration, supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, sponsored by the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Optical Society, and published by Science Press. Its purpose is to promote academic democracy, activate academic thought, promote academic exchanges between domestic and foreign peers, and promote the continuous development of infrared and millimeter wave science and technology. Its feature is to reflect the latest research results and technological progress in the field of infrared and millimeter waves. The journal formerly known as "Infrared Research", was founded in 1982. According to the needs of discipline development and international academic exchanges, it has been called "Journal of Infrared and millimeter waves" since 1991, so that the subject coverage of the journal extends from infrared to millimeter wave band, filling the gap in the field of millimeter wave academic journals in China. The journal has been indexed by SCI, EI, CA , SA/INSPEC , JICST , AJ ， SCOPUS , "METADEX"  and other internationally famous retrieval systems.

The field of infrared and millimeter wave science and technology is an interdisciplinary subject of information science and physics. It is an important frontier field of current information technology, and its level reflects a country's core competitiveness in science & technology and military. The Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves mainly reports the new concepts, new achievements and new progress in the field of infrared, millimeter waves and terahertz. Publications include innovative research papers and research briefs, international and domestic advanced level academic papers and high-level reviews, experimental reports with detailed data, reliable results and practical significance, domestic and foreign application technology articles, research briefs of phased scientific research results and letters with advanced level on infrared physics, terahertz science and technology, remote sensing and space exploration, optical properties of condensed matter, low energy excitation processes (including low-dimensional systems and electronic structure meters), femtosecond spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, infrared optoelectronics and millimeter wave technology (including components, systems and applications, intelligent information technology and artificial neural networks, biomedical optics research, etc.). English research papers are not subject to publication cycle and will be preferentially published after acceptance.
