Current Optics and Photonics is freely and widely available to all readers via OSK and OSA Publishing’s Digital Library. Thus, authors should pay the mandatory article processing charge set by the OSK once their manuscripts have been accepted for publication. For authors’ information, until payment of the article processing charge is received, the production process is to be held.
The mandatory article processing charge set by the OSK is currently as follows:

KRW 400,000 (approximately USD 350) for an article of up to 5 published pages; KRW 80,000 (approximately USD 70) per page for 5+ published pages

In some cases, inclusion of figures printed in color (on authors’ request) may incur additional publication processing charges, which should also be paid by authors. Contact COPP staff for details of the extra charges.
