Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrahigh optical reflectance dielectric mirrors are found in a multitude of applications, enabling key scientific instruments from interferometers detecting gravitational waves to nanocavities used in quantum spin devices; however, the methods of fabrication often trade off results vs. the complexity of the growth process. In this Special Issue, we explore some of the more common growth methods but with an emphasis on the lesser explored, non-optical properties of the resultant coatings.
Includes in the scope of this Special Edition are mechanical, thermal, structural, electrical, and laser resistance studies on all-dielectric mirrors with optical reflectance >99%.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
