Instructions for the preparation of the 10-page manuscript AITA 9

Enoch Gutierrez1 and Second Author2 1Centro de Investigaciones en Óptica Apdo. Postal 1-948, C.P. 37000, Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico 2Affiliation [email protected]

Abstract: Author names should be given in full (11 pt.). Affiliations and postal (9 pt.) addresses for all authors should appear on the title page. Abstract (11 pt.) should be limited to approximately 100 words. It should be an explicit summary of the paper that states the problem, the methods used, and the major results and conclusions. Between two and six Keywords should be listed on the manuscript below the abstract. Keywords: Dove prism, Misalignment, Manufacturing error, Exact ray trace

1. Introduction

All manuscripts should be written in good scientific English, with special care being reserved for the clarity of the title and the abstract.

The pages should be sized for U.S. letter paper (8.5x11 in); with ample margins (at least 2.5 cm) all around. Beginning with the title page, number pages consecutively, including tables and list of figure captions. Font size should be 11 pt.

The title should be concise but informative. Avoid beginning with an article or a preposition. The words "new" or "novel" should be avoided in the title for reasons of clarity, it is preferable for new terminology to be introduced, and properly defined, only in the main text.

2. Software

AITA 9 accepts Word files.

3. Mathematical and Scientific Notation

3.3 Displayed Equations

Equations should be punctuated and aligned to show structure and should be numbered at the right:

й 2 щ ni жni 1 ц 2 ni Kˆ = Kˆ + к з + ч -1+ (Kˆ Nˆ ) - (Kˆ Nˆ )ъ Nˆ . (1) i+1 i з ч i Ч i Ч ni+1 к и ni ш ъni+1 лк ыъ

3.2 In-Line Math

Simple fractions in in-line math should use parentheses when necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, to distinguish between 1/(2 - x) and 1/2 - x. In-text fractions should be set on line, not built up. Exceptions

1 to this are proper fractions such as ½, which are better left in this form. Summations and integrals that m7 3 1 2 appear within text such as m1 (m  2m) should have limits placed to the right of the symbol to reduce white space and should not use oversized symbols.

3.3 General Guidelines on Notation

Notation must be legible, clear, compact, and consistent with standard usage. In general, acronyms should be defined at first use. Adherence to the following guidelines will greatly assist the production process: When possible, avoid oversized radical signs by using the notation of a superscript 1/2. For example, change a  ba  c to [(a + b)(a - c)]1/2.

Avoid tiny superscripts of exponential e (e.g., ejkl) by using the alternative exp notation, exp(jkl). Set single-letter variables in italics (k). Set three-vectors in boldface (k). Functions, derivative "d," abbreviations, and multiletter identifiers should be set in roman (plain) type (α, cos, ∫.dx, kout).

2 In general, close up multiplied terms (pypx); use × if multiplication sign is essential (1 × 10 ) or for continuation in displayed equations. Use a centered dot only for scalar product (k  k). For simple bracketing the usual order of parentheses and brackets is { [ ( { [ () ] } ) ] } .

The S.I. metric system is used in AITA 9. If nonmetric units are essential (e.g., for parts specifications), conversion should be given at first mention: ". . . a ¼-in. bolt (1 in. = 2.54 cm)."

4. Figures and Tables

4.1 Figures

Fig. 1. Flame ignition of a stove burner

Figures should be numbered consecutively in the order of appearance and citation in the text. Be sure to cite every figure. Handwritten lettering and low-quality computer graphics are not acceptable. Figures should have a resolution of 600 dpi.

Color illustrations can be printed in AITA 9; however, it is necessary that the author's institution or funding agency defray the cost of color printing.

2 4.2 Tables

Tables must be numbered consecutively in the order of appearance. Tables with multiple parts should be split into separate numbered tables [instead of Table 1(a), Table 1(b), etc.]. The table title (9 pt.), which should be brief, goes above the table. Detailed explanations or table footnotes should be typed directly beneath the table, as shown. Tables should use horizontal rules to delimit the top and bottom of the table and column headings. In general, no other rules should be used. Note that tables are usually typeset, not scanned (tables cannot be electronically reduced in size).

The displacements of the vertices change the orientation of the prism faces (normal, ), by modifying the base angles () and introducing the pyramidal angle. rvi rvi1 represents a line segment from vertex i to vertex i+1.

5. Conclusion

The final step in submitting a manuscript to AITA 9 is to go online at http://www.cio.mx/AITA07/AITA07.htm, log into the electronic submission system (under “Account log in” in the internet site), read the instructions, and then upload the Word, pdf or eps file.

6. References and Notes

References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear along the text. Two references together should be separated by a comma [2,3], and three or more consecutive references should be indicated by the bounding numbers and an en dash [1–4].

When on-line reference numbers are essential (e.g., see [1]), it is not necessary to use the words "Reference(s)" or "Ref(s)." except when needed for clarity. Footnotes should be incorporated into the text or set at the back with references as an endnote, no at the bottom of the text page.

When reference authors are mentioned in the text, use surnames only (unless further clarity is needed), and use "et al." and first author name when three or more authors are given.

Different references should be given the following formats:
