Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure, and an honor, to present this Topical Collection of Applied Sciences.
This is a feature issue to present recent advances and future prospects of this key, fundamental, research area in (1) optical design and engineering of semiconductor device, (2) optical measuring equipment and (3) optical exposure equipment.
You are cordially invited to submit your original research or review papers to this Topical Collection. All papers need to present original, previously-unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review processes of this journal.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Optical materials;
- Non-imaging optical design;
- Imaging optical design;
- Optical lens design;
- Solid state lighting;
- Thin-film technology;
- Optical instruments;
- Opto-mechanical system;
- Optical exposure equipment;
- Imaging systems, image processing, and display optical systems;
- Optical devices, photonic devices, sensors, and detectors.
