Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites articles from a vast range of topics that utilize optical measurements and sensing technology in different environments, from biological to underwater settings. Optical measurements and technology both involve the usage of fundamental properties, such as diffraction, absorption, transmission, and scattering. This Special Issue welcomes both review papers and original contributions related to an array of research fields. The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- Imaging;
- Spectrometry;
- Optical interferometric techniques;
- Nano-optics;
- Fiber optics;
- Biomedical optics;
- Photoacoustics;
- Ultrasound in sensing;
- Hydrophones;
- Fiberoptic hydrophones;
- Ultrasonic actuators;
- Ultrasonic cleaning;
- Ultrasonic fabrication and imaging;
- Sensors and sensor technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. AppliedPhys 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 1000 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.
