Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Optical imaging techniques are critical in the biomedical field, with numerous applications in lesion detection, diagnosis, and treatment evaluation. These imaging methods offer rich optical contrasts that provide biological information from anatomical structures to functional and molecular features, making them an essential tool for both preclinical research and clinical practice.

With the significant growth of optical imaging in recent years, we are announcing a Special Issue on advanced optical imaging for biomedicine. The focus will be on recent innovations and novel trends related to optical imaging devices, optical imaging applications in biomedicine, optical imaging theories, and interdisciplinary studies that apply optical imaging technologies. We welcome regular research articles, reviews, and short communications from research groups worldwide to share their knowledge through this Special Issue of Optics.

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. Optics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.

Abstract
A simple method (first-order approximation) to determine the impact of M2 and the Strehl Ratio on the effective focusable spot size avoiding complex propagations of the beam wavefront is proposed. The model is based upon previous models and the definition of M [...] Read more.
A simple method (first-order approximation) to determine the impact of M2 and the Strehl Ratio on the effective focusable spot size avoiding complex propagations of the beam wavefront is proposed. The model is based upon previous models and the definition of M2 and the Strehl Ratio in a simple manner. This work provides qualitative and quantitative estimates for the interplay of M2 and the Strehl Ratio on the effectively focusable spot size. Full article

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a cutting-edge biomedical imaging modality, providing detailed anatomical and functional information about the area beneath the skin surface. Its light energy deposition is such that PAI typically provides clear images of the skin with high signal-to-noise ratios. Specifically, the rich optical contrast of PAI allows biological information related to lesion growth, malignancy, treatment response, and prognosis to be seen. Given its significant advantages and emerging role in imaging skin lesions, we summarize and comment on representative studies of skin PAI, such as the guidance of skin cancer biopsies and surgical excisions, and the accurate diagnosis of psoriasis. We conclude with our insights about the clinical significance of skin PAI, showing how its use to identify biological characteristics in lesion microenvironments allows early diagnosis and prognosis of disease.
