Optics Classification and Indexing Scheme (OCIS)
The Optics Classification and Indexing Scheme (OCIS) provides a flexible, comprehensive classification system for all optical author input
and user retrieval needs. OCIS has a two-level hierarchical structure containing 36 main headers and approximately 1100 subcategories. OSA
authors, presenters, and reviewers use OCIS to classify and index journal articles, meeting abstracts and presentations, and areas of research
interest and expertise.
Suggestions for changes or additions can be sent to OCIS@osa.org.
