With a few command changes, the two-column version can be disassembled into a single-column double-spaced version suitable for production and submission to OSA. Examples are given of how to account for some of the factors that affect the accuracy of the length estimate: figures, tables, equations, and author affiliations. \textbf{Authors should note the new affiliation style (shown above) as well as the change to bracketed reference callouts.}\end{abstract} \ocis{000.0000, 999.9999.} ] %% activate for two-column option \noindent We recommend that authors prepare OL manuscripts to accommodate the \texttt{[twocolumn]} (length-check) option. This will assist both the author and OSA staff in estimating final page count. Preparing the length-check option involves setting tables and figures within the body of the manuscript with appropriate sizing commands and placing the \verb+\twocolumn[...]+ command around the title\-page elements (as explained \hyperlink{frontmatter}{below}). There are also instructions at the end of the template for setting up author affiliations properly. Once a manuscript has been prepared to resemble final pages, it can easily be reprocessed to change layout for production, float the figures to the back, and generate a list of figure captions. \bigskip Sample code for the preamble is as follows: \subsection*{LaTeX for length check} \small \begin{verbatim} \documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{article} \usepackage{ol} %% Figures should be placed in body %% of manuscript and %% sized appropriately. \end{verbatim} \normalsize \subsection*{LaTeX for submission} \small \begin{verbatim} \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[tablesfirst,notablist, nomarkers]{endfloat} %% use endfloat only to float figures %% to end and create %% list of captions \usepackage{ol} \end{verbatim} \normalsize The command \verb+\twocolumn[...]+ must be placed around the titlepage elements in the two-column option. Note that proper figure, table, and caption environments should be used (see samples below). \textbf{Displayed equations} may be the most problematic for purposes of length check. \emph{Optics Letters} equations are usually set in one column; breaks and alignment should bring out the structure of the math: %% LaTeX %\begin{eqnarray} %{\dot{E}_{x,y}} &=&\frac{1}{2}\left( 1+j\alpha \right) \left( G_{x,y}-\gamma \right) %E_{x,y} \label{Eq1} \nonumber \\ %&&+\kappa E_{x,y}\left( t-\tau \right) \exp \left( -j\Omega %_{x,y}\tau \right) \nonumber \\ %&& + (\beta _{sp}N)^{1/2} \xi _{x,y}. %\end{eqnarray} %% amsmath \begin{align} {\dot{E}_{x,y}} &=\frac{1}{2}\left( 1+j\alpha \right) \left( G_{x,y}-\gamma \right) E_{x,y} \label{Eq1} \nonumber \\ &\quad+\kappa E_{x,y}\left( t-\tau \right) \exp \left( -j\Omega _{x,y}\tau \right) \nonumber \\ &\quad + (\beta _{sp}N)^{1/2} \xi _{x,y}. \end{align} Use standard LaTeX or AMSTeX environments. For equations that \textit{must} span two columns, it is possible to use a float environment, e.g., \verb+\begin{figure*}...\end{figure*}+. Such an environment will not interfere with figure or table numbering (which is controlled by the caption), but it \textit{will} cause equations to float, often with unwanted consequences. \textbf{Figures} should be set to one-column size \mbox{($\sim$8.3 cm)} whenever possible; \textbf{tables} should also be set to one column whenever possible, but tables with more than five columns will probably need to be set to two columns. For two-column layout, figures and tables can be set across both columns with the alternate figure and table environment commands \verb+\begin{figure*}...\end{figure*}+ instead of \verb+\begin{figure}...\end{figure}+. Note that tables are typeset and cannot be reduced in size like art, which may require more space than in the submitted paper. \subsection*{Sample figure environment:} \small \begin{verbatim} \begin{figure}[htb] \centerline{ \includegraphics[width=8.3cm]{richardson-f1.eps}} \caption{Sample figure.} \end{figure} \end{verbatim} \normalsize \textbf{References} callouts are now formatted with the \texttt{cite} package, which produces bracketed reference style (e.g., [1]). For online callouts, e.g., see [1], the words ``Ref.'' and ``Refs.'' are not required. Before submitting, authors who use BibTeX should first run BibTeX, then paste the contents of the output file \texttt{*.bbl} into the \texttt{*.tex} manuscript file. Our electronic submissions system cannot process BibTeX directly. Use the latest version of \texttt{ol.bst}, which is included in this distribution. \paragraph{The following files are included in this distribution:} \begin{itemize}\itemsep-2pt \item\texttt{OLpagelength.tex} \ Template and instructions \item\texttt{ol.sty} \ Style file \item\texttt{ol.bst} \ BibTeX style file \item\texttt{endfloat.cfg} \ Configuration file for the \texttt{endfloat} package \item\texttt{richardson-f1.eps} \ Sample .eps figure. \end{itemize} \bigskip \begin{figure}[htb] %\centerline{\includegraphics[width=8cm]{richardson-f1.eps}} \caption{Sample column-width figure; note that multipart figures should be assembled as a single file.} \end{figure} \begin{table} \centering \caption{Sample Table}\begin{tabular}{ccccc} \\ \hline % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ...
