Scientific paper

The past and recent results of optical searches for simultaneous and quasisimultaneous/fading counterparts of GRBs are discussed. Although no convincing counterparts have been found so far, I show that this does not necessarily mean that there are no flaring/fading optical counterparts but there may also be other reasons such as insufficient instrumental responses and threshold limits and/or time delays. I outline results obtained so far by various experiments and show that there is still an obvious lack of sensitive simultaneous observations as well as deep follow-up observations covering the full areas of error boxes less than a few hours after a GRB. Further instrumental improvements are needed to be able to made final conclusions as to whether there are optical emissions accompanying GRBs.
