The journal was founded in 1977 and merged with Pure and Applied Optics: Journal of the European Optical Society Part A in 1998. This merged journal was published as Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied Optics. As part of the merger the other publication of the EOS, Quantum and Semiclassical Optics: Journal of the European Optical Society Part B, was renamed Journal of Optics B: Quantum and Semiclassical Optics.
In 2006, Journal of Optics B was merged into Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. Journal of Optics A was renamed Journal of Optics in January 2010,[1] as it is now the only journal continuing the Journal of Optics series.
