《俄羅斯激光研究雜志》是以俄羅斯在激光領域的最好研究為基礎的。它基于對這個快速增長的領域的及時性和重要性而選擇的研究。在著名的俄羅斯科學院P.N.Lebedev物理研究所的主持下進行的研究將成為這本雜志的核心。覆蓋范圍包括在傳統領域（如激光物理、非線性光學、激光受激化學、激光應用、激光光譜學、激光與物質和等離子體的相互作用、激光泵送、激光束特性、固態、氣體、液體、化學和半導體激光器）以及量子光學和量子信息處理等新領域。

Journal of Russian Laser Research is based on the best Russian research in the field of lasers. It is based on research selected for its timeliness and importance to this rapidly growing field.Research carried out under the auspices of the prestigious P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences will form the core of this journal. Coverage includes carefully selected current research in traditional areas such as laser physics; nonlinear optics; laser-stimulated chemistry; laser applications; laser spectroscopy; laser interactions with matter and plasma; laser pumping; properties of laser beams; and solid-state, gas, liquid, chemical, and semiconductor lasers, as well as in new areas such as quantum optics and quantum information processing.
