New Challenges in Terahertz Detectors

Dear Colleagues,

The development of new terahertz detectors is still an interesting and exciting topic. The progress is driven by new application needs, as well as new discoveries in basic science. The unique properties of THz radiation make it useful for various fields. Astronomy, security, and medicine are the traditional fields of use. However, nondestructive inspection and wideband telecommunication are also being intensively investigated.

The Special Issue on terahertz detectors will focus on lens knowledge and achievements from microelectronics, high frequency electronics, nanodevices, material science, infrared branch, optics, radiometry, thermal phenomena, and many others. This implies a large variety of detection mechanisms. This Special Issue will address the current challenges in terahertz detectors.

Papers that describe the design, modelling, fabrication, or experimental verification are invited. Descriptions of THz detectors applications are also welcomed.

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.
