Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue comprises some of the most important contributions presented at NANOPHOTONICS2022, the world’s leading conference on nanophotonics and metamaterials. In addition this Issue is open to a restricted number of leading scientists in these rapidly advancing areas to present their latest results.

The Special Issue presents the most important selected papers discussing current research trends in the fields of nanophotonics and metamaterials, such as topological effects in optics, two-dimensional materials, light–matter interaction in nanocavities, plasmonic circuits, thermal engineering, and quantum photonic systems.

Thus, this Special Issue provides insights into current research trends and future research directions and addresses current and future applications and challenges.

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.

Metalenses, with their unique modulation of light, are in great demand for many potential applications. As a proof-of-principle demonstration, we focus on designing SiO2 metalenses that operate in the deep ultraviolet region, specifically around 193 nm. Based on the deep ultraviolet metalens proposed in this paper, an integrated deep ultraviolet doublet metalens is further offered. When the incident light is a plane wave with a wavelength of 193 nm, the integrated doublet metalens can reduce the beam size by a factor of 4:1, and the emitted light is flat. The integrated doublet metalens can project the reticle image proportionally, making the projection image clear. The integrated doublet metalens has the best imaging effect at the propagation distance of 2 μm and can tolerate ±3 degrees of incident angle deviation. Our findings establish general and systematic strategies to guide the design of traditional optical lens arrays with excellent integrated doublet metalenses and pave the way for enhanced optical performance in the application of large-relative-aperture deep ultraviolet detection, deep ultraviolet microscope systems, laser beam combining systems, deep ultraviolet lithography systems, etc. Full article

In the majority of experiments targeting nonlinear optical phenomena, the application of high-intensity pulses drives electrons in graphene into a strongly non-equilibrium state. Under these conditions, conventional perturbation theory falls short in explaining graphene’s intricate optical response because of significant deviations in electron distribution over energy states from the equilibrium Fermi-Dirac one. In this work, we present a two-step relaxation model capable of predicting the transient dynamics of graphene’s carriers out of equilibrium, from the generation of spectrally narrow populations of non-thermalized electrons and holes to the establishment of a hot-electron gas and its subsequent cooling toward equilibrium with the crystal lattice. By comparing our model calculations to experimental results, we demonstrate its reliability and relevance to pump–probe experiments, providing insights into the pivotal role of hot electrons in comprehending ultrafast dynamics in graphene.
