Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Materials research is crucial in the development of devices for applications in several areas where photonics is present, such as photovoltaics, displays, biophotonics, integrated optics, nonlinear optics, optical sensors, and communications.
In this Special Issue, we are interested in exploring materials science and technology research, focusing on photonic applications. Authors are encouraged to submit their works comprising the design, synthesis, fabrication, and/or characterization of novel materials for photonics. This may include lanthanide-doped materials, quantum dots, disordered materials for random lasers, nonlinear optical materials, plasmonics, nanocomposites, flexible substrates for photonics, photonic crystals, metamaterials, graphene and 2D materials, or others. The key aspect of this issue is to show the importance of materials development for the photonics research and industry.
We expect to attract contributions from world-leading experts in the area of materials reseach for photonics in an effort to offer an overview of the field, with a particular emphasis on major advances and outstanding challenges.
All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review processes of the journal. Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual standards for submission to Applied Sciences and uploaded through the MDPI electronic submission system.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
