Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical nanoantennas and metasurfaces have become a very dynamic and active research field in photonics. Recent and exciting theoretical and experimental findings on resonant optical nanoantennas and metasurfaces have demonstrated a huge potential for countless applications, such as optical communications, optical signal processing, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, molecular sensing, and many more. A key factor of these advancements has been the unprecedented possibilities to investigate, manipulate, and control the optical response at the nanoscale through judicious design and realization of subwavelength-sized structures made of metals, semiconductors or dielectrics and their hierarchical arrangements, and the latest technological developments in the fabrication and characterization of such structures.
This Special Issue summarizes the latest research, trends, and developments, including applications of resonant optical nanoantennas and metasurfaces. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Nanoantennas and Mie resonators;
- Nanoplasmonics;
- Plasmonic and dielectric metasurfaces;
- Enhancement of nonlinear optical phenomena;
- Tunability and reconfigurability of the optical responses at the nanoscale;
- Novel and hybrid nanostructures;
- Theory and modeling;
- New fabrication and characterization techniques;
- Applications.

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.
