The top 25 papers in optoelectronics
covers the entire spectrum of phenomena and devices. Most prominent,
and heading the list, are femtosecond lasers and research into
ultrashort pulses as short as a single femtosecond. A femtosecond is
to a second as a second is to 32 million years. Another leading theme
is the theory, application and implementation of fractional Fourier
transforms in optics. A third research area that appears multiple
times in the top 25 is the generation and control of solitons in
long-distance transmission over optical fibers. A final recurring
theme is the study of erbium-doped glasses for fiber amplifiers used
in telecommunications, especially trans-oceanic lines.

The resulting database contained
67,159 papers PUBLISHED FROM 1991-1999. These papers were published in
46 journals; and represented the work of 74,656 authors from 10,974
institutions and 110 countries.
Rankings
With the database, ISI analysts
generated lists of top 25 papers, authors, journals, institutions, and
nations from this time span.
The top 25 papers are ranked
according to total cites. Rankings for author, journal, institution,
and country are listed in three ways: according to total papers, total
cites, and total cites/paper.
Ranking by total cites was used as the basis for determining which
author, journal, institution, and country to feature in our editorial section.
