A Bibliometric Review Of Optical Physics With Laser Beam

Abstract

This Paper aims to analyze the work done in the filed of optical physics with free electron laser beam from 2000 to 2021, using bibliometric methods. This study presents a Scopus database review on “Optical physics using free electron Laser beam”. In recent decades, optics research has blossomed with the invention of the laser, an increasing interaction between optics and electronics, the development of new materials with unique optical properties, and other extraordinary advances. In this paper, we constructed a citation network of papers to investigate the structure of research and to detect emerging research domains in optics. This  bibliometric survey helps to know advantages of optic physics in various fields with emission of light. This paper presents bibliometric survey of optical physics from the year 2000 to 2021 May. The database analysis of the Lasers is done through Scopus and tool like VOSviewer Version 1.6.15. This database survey is represented for maximum number of publications are from conferences and journals, from books and articles, affiliated to science and engineering, from India and other countries.

Methods: We collected citation data of optics-related publications from the Scopus data base from 2000 to 2021. Scopus analyzer is used for representing analysis in terms of Document by author, source, year, and country. VOS viewer Version 1.6.15 is used for the analysis of different types such as co-authorship, co-occurrences, citation analysis etc.

Results: In this study, a database search outputs a total of 182 articles on Optical physics from 2000 to 2021. Statistical analysis and network analysis shows the maximum articles are published in the years 2019 and 2020 with United States contributed the largest number of documents. From Scopus analysis, it is clear that large number of articles were published by Erratum(Physics Review).  Network analysis of different parameters shows a good potential of the topic in terms of research.

Conclusions: Scopus search outcome has 182 articles, in this 173 were in English, 7 were in Chinese and 2 were published in Italian. Authors, documents, country, Funding sources etc analyzed. Network analysis of different parameters indicates that, there is a lot of scope to contribute in the further research in terms of medicine and electronics.
