Description		The SPIE Digital Library is the most extensive resource available on optics and photonics, providing unprecedented access to more than 230,000 technical papers from SPIE Journals and Conference Proceedings from 1990 to the present. More than 17,000 new technical papers are added annually. All sources are searchable and there are also several browse options for proceedings (by year, symposium, volume number, volume title, technology). SPIE content spans a number of technology areas. Major classifications include: Astronomy and Astronomical Optics Biomedical Optics and Imaging Communication and Information Technologies Defense and Industrial Sensing Electronic Imaging and Processing Micro- and Nano- Technologies Optics and Electro-Optics
Dates covered		Proceedings of SPIE Starting at Volume 1200 (1990)* Optical Engineering Starting at Volume 29 (1990) Journal of Electronic Imaging: Starting at Volume 1 (1992) Journal of Biomedical Optics Starting at Volume 1 (1996) Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS Starting at Volume 1 (2002) Journal of Applied Remote Sensing Starting at Volume 1 (2007) Journal of Nanophotonics Starting at Volume 1 (2007) * Some Proceedings volumes are available only in print as SPIE does not have electronic rights to this material.

Updating frequency		SPIE Journals and Proceedings use an "e-First" publishing timetable. New papers are added online as they complete the necessary approvals and production, and therefore issues and volumes first appear as partially complete contents that build as papers are added. Updates occur daily. Proceedings are typically published online 2-4 weeks after the date of the conference. Print publications follow completion of the online volume. For e-First publications, the electronic version is the publication of record, and citation information indicates the online publication date.
Sources		The content in the SPIE Digital Library includes all SPIE journals and conference proceedings.
Type of coverage		Contains issue and volume tables of contents, abstracts, and PDF full text for all included papers. Additionally, HTML full-text is available for journal papers published from 2001 to the present. All journal papers from 2001 to the present include CrossRef links.
Print Counterpart or related resources		Some journals and conference proceedings are available in print format.
Provider		Producer or content provider: SPIE is the original publisher of all SPIE Digital Library content. Vendor or electronic presentation provider: The host platform is Scitation (AIP) by SPIE.
