Publication was suspended during the First World War and only resumed in 1921, when the name was shortened to Revue d'Optique. Due to the Second World War, publication was again suspended in 1944, but resumed in 1947. After another suspension in 1968, the journal re-appeared in 1970 as the Nouvelle Revue d'Optique Appliquée. In 1977 it was renamed Journal of Optics. In 1998 it merged with Pure and Applied Optics : Journal of the European Optical Society Part A and was renamed Journal of Optics A : Pure and Applied Optics. As part of the merger the other publication of the European Optical Society, 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, as it is now the only journal continuing the Journal of Optics series.
