The following pages illustrate a short annotated sample of an OSA manuscript created with REVTeX. Both the input and output are presented for comparison purposes. We welcome your suggestions of sample formats or conventions that might be added to this manuscript example in the future to make it more useful to OSA's authors. Please send your ideas to

In addition to examining the following sample, many OSA authors
will find valuable examples in the files sample.tex, josaa.tex,
josab.tex, and aplop.tex. Optics Letters
authors can refer to josaa.tex or
josab.tex for a style guide, and select the josaa option in the
documentstyle command for their manuscripts.
The OSA template (template.tex) is a document file set up
and ready to use for manuscript input. It includes all the basic
section tags and formatting commands (macros) that are relevant
to an OSA manuscript.
