Optics and Spectroscopy is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal. It is the English version of the Russian journal Russian: Оптика и спектроскопия () that was established in 1956. The journal was aided in development by Patricia Wakeling through a grant to her from the National Science Foundation. It covers research on spectroscopy of electromagnetic waves, from radio waves to X-rays, and related topics in optics, including quantum optics.
