The 0.1<z<1.65 evolution of the bright end of the [OII] luminosity
  function
  We present the [OII] luminosity function measured in the redshift range
0.1<z<1.65 with unprecedented depth and accuracy. Our measurements are based on
medium resolution flux-calibrated spectra of emission line galaxies with the
FORS2 instrument at VLT and with the SDSS-III/BOSS spectrograph. The FORS2
spectra and the corresponding catalog containing redshifts and line fluxes are
released along with this paper.
  In this work we use a novel method to combine the aforementioned surveys with
GAMA, zCOSMOS and VVDS, which have different target selection, producing a
consistent weighting scheme to derive the [OII] luminosity function.
  The measured luminosity function is in good agreement with previous
independent estimates. The comparison with two state-of-the-art semi-analytical
models is good, which is encouraging for the production of mock catalogs of
[OII] flux limited surveys. We observe the bright end evolution over 8.5 Gyr:
we measure the decrease of log L* from 42.4 erg/s at redshift 1.44 to 41.2 at
redshift 0.165 and we find that the faint end slope flattens when redshift
decreases.
  This measurement confirms the feasibility of the target selection of future
baryonic acoustic oscillation surveys aiming at observing [OII] flux limited
samples.
