In manuscript format, tables should be placed at the end of the submission, after the figure captions. The tables that were once in this location have been placed at the end of the document.
\subsection{New Printing Characters for OSA}
The following are composite characters, created by short macros
included in the OSA.STY style file.
\begin{eqnarray*}
\begin{array}{rrrr}
\,\,\,\,\,\, \succsim & \,\,\,\,\,\, \precsim &
\,\,\,\,\,\, \corresponds &\\
\,\,\,\,\,\, \lambdabar & \,\,\,\,\,\, \slantfrac{1}{2} &
\,\,\,\,\,\, \slantfrac{2}{3},& \,\,\, {\rm etc.}
\end{array}
\end{eqnarray*}
The macros to produce these special characters are shown in Table
\ref{table1}, at the end of this document.
\section{Cross-referencing}
REV\TeX\ will automatically number sections, equations,
figure captions, and tables. In order to
reference them in text, use the \btt{label} and \btt{ref}
commands.
The \btt{label} command appears following a section heading
or within a equation, figure
caption, or table; the \btt{ref} command appears in text
where citation is to occur. We will refer to the first
figure (Fig.~\ref{autonum}) here.
We can refer to the ``late figure'' also (Fig.~\ref{latefigure}).
References to figures: Fig.~\ref{autonum}, Fig.~\ref{latefigure}
and Fig.~\ref{reduced}.
References to tables:
Table \ref{table1},
Table \ref{table2},
Table \ref{table3}, and
Table \ref{latetable}.
{\bf OSA}
style requires that the initial citation of figures or tables
be in numerical order in text, so don't cite Fig.~\ref{reduced}
until you've cited Fig.~\ref{latefigure}.
See {\it Style and Notation
Guide}.
\section{Tables}
In manuscript format, tables should be placed at the end of the submission,
after the figure captions. The tables that were once in this location
have been placed at the end of the document.
Tables must begin with a "\begin{table}" command.
This starts the table environment, which may contain several
tables. A "\begin{tabular}{}" is used to start the actual table.
"\end{tabular}" and "\end{table} are used to
end the table and the table environment.
The command caption{Your Caption} is used to create a caption for a table. It should be used just prior to the begin{tabular}{} command.
The second set of braces following {tabular} must contain information to indicate the number of columns and the type of justification you wish to use. The information is conveyed by letters. Each letter within the braces indicates one column in the table. The value of the letter indicates the kind of justification.
Some examples include c for centered, l for left justification, r for right justification, and d for decimal, where numbers will be lined up according to their decimal points.
For the Acknowledgments section use the command
\acknowledgments to produce the heading. The section number
will not appear.
If you want to suppress section numbers (as in the Acknowledgments
section), the command section* can be used. This has already
been done by the
\acknowledgments macro, so the section* command is not
needed in this case.
