Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) aims to cover all the latest outstanding developments of optical coherence tomography techniques. This Special Issue will describe recent research and developments in the field of optical coherence tomography. Optical coherence tomography is an interdisciplinary field that combines the principles of optics, biomedical, and material science. Through decades of development and innovation, it is now widely applied in ophthalmology, dermatology, gastroenterology, cardiology, pulmonology, dentistry, and industry. Currently, many functionnal OCT techniques, such as Doppler OCT, OCT angiography, micro-OCT, and polarization sensitive OCT, have also been proposed to provide complementary information to structural OCT images, which plays a role of significant add-on features.
In this Special Issue, we will focus on important achievements in academia and industry. We invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of OCT and functional OCT techniques. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

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.
