Photoelectric Detection Systems: Basics and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "Optics and Lasers".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A photoelectric detection system is a complex device that can detect photons by converting light into electrical signals. Photoelectric detection is moving toward high performance, low cost, and small volume to meet rising demand and plays a very important role in a wide range of areas, including electro-optical displays, image sensing, environment monitoring, telecommunications, military uses, space exploration, security checks, and so on. Advances in photoelectric detection systems crucially depend upon a synergistic, multidisciplinary research effort. Recently, materials scientists, physicists, chemists, and engineers have reported much research on improving the key figure-of-merit parameters of photoelectric detection systems such as sensitivity, spectral selectivity, response speed, and stability.
In this Special Issue, authors can submit research and application studies devoted to photoelectric effects and various detectors. Additionally, papers about materials synthesis and the fabrication of photoelectric detectors will be accepted. Moreover, the modeling and simulation of photoelectric detectors is a crucial step that must be taken prior to application, and research papers in this area are also welcome in this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
