Engineering’’
Manuscripts
should be typed on an A4 size sheet in the following order:
1.
Title page
Title ，Authors，Authors’
affiliations, and their addresses
Abstract
(within 150 words)
Key
Words (within 5 words)

2. Preparing Manuscripts
2.１
Titles,Author’Names,Affiliations
The title should be concise, (within15 words. Don’t use abbreviations). Should the title exceed the length limit, put an abbreviated title underneath the main title for use as footer. If there are more than two of the author’s affiliations, indicate them by adding superscripts of number on the end of each name; 1, 2, 3, When the present affiliation address is different from the research place, indicate it, too. The present address should be described on Footnotes. Treatment of more than two present affiliation is same as previous address.
2.2 Abstracts and Keywords
Abstracts and keywords are necessary for Laser Originals, Laser Letters, Laser Reviews, and Laser Technical Notes. The abstract should not exceed 150 words and keywords (in noun forms) should not exceed 5 words.
Divide headings in the
manuscript as follows:
First-level heading; 1, 2, ... (centered)
Second-level heading; 1.1, 2.1, ... (left-aligned)
Third-level heading; 1.1.1, 2.1.1, ... (left-aligned)
2.4 Footnotes and References
Footnotes written at the bottom of pages should be
referred to superscripts of dagger in the text. Treatment of more than two is
same as author’s affiliations (see 2.1). Catalogs, Web addresses and other
sources that are possibly variable should be noted in Footnotes. Literature references should be
arranged in the following way;
They should be numbered sequentially and listed on separate pages at the
end of the text. In the text, corresponding reference numbers should be shown
with superscripts in the following style: 1), 1,2) or 1-5). References should be written as
follows:
- Magazine: Authors, Title, Volume number, (published year) [No. Issue]* page number.
-
Book: Authors, Title ([Title of the
series, Volume number, ed. Editor,] ** publisher, published area, published
year) p. Page number.
*Specify when the page number is
renewed in each issue.
**Specify
when the book is published in a series.
1) All
of the names of authors should be listed.
In the case there are more than 10 authors, omit after 11th
authors
using ‘‘et al.’’. Divide each name
with comma ( , ); however, put ‘‘and’’ in such case as ‘‘A and
B’’ or
‘‘A, B, and C.’’
2)
Titles of books should be typed in Italic.
3) Volumes of journals should be written in boldface

Figures
and tables should be prepared with graphic software. Letters should be typed in
