Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tailoring the properties of light at its various degrees of freedom, such as amplitude, phase, polarization, wavelength, etc., is of great relevance for the development of novel applications, as well as for the study of new optical phenomena. This Special Issue is a tribute to all of those who are involved in the development of this field, as well as those who are continuously contributing to this fascinating research topic.
We expect contributions from fundamental areas of research as well as from applied research fields. Some of these fields are listed below, but we are not limited to them:
- Optical tweezers;
- Optical imaging and high resolution microscopy;
- Optical metrology and sensing;
- Nonlinear optics;
- Quantum optics;
- Optical communications;
- Shaping of light beams, and more general structured light with spatially variant amplitude, phase, and polarization, e.g., vector beams;
- Spatiotemporal light beams.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
