Because every blog needs its introduction.

New research in optics and photonics is published daily, but not only is it difficult to select which articles to read, but also the necessary background to understand the context and details can be overwhelming. Photon Report will eliminate the guesswork, highlighting recent publications in optics and photonics while also providing the necessary background to make cutting-edge scientific research accessible. All highlighted articles will be open access, and therefore accessible by all.
