Advanced Optoelectronic Crystals and Devices: Designing and Characterization

Dear Colleagues,

Optoelectronic devices are essential and form many fundamental components in modern optic systems. Their broadly covered applications include data center interconnection, fiber optical telecommunication, coherent detection and ranging, etc. Boosted by advancing nano-fabrication technology, ever-increasing computational power and revolutionary data-driven algorithms, this research field is now in a very favorable position as it steps into the next phase of its evolution.

In this Special Issue, we invite the community to submit breakthrough results or comprehensive reviews of  progressively advancing optoelectronic devices’ design and characterization with respect to the fields including, but not limited to:  novel materials, simulation and design methods, crystalline material characteristics and test solutions and novel device structures and 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 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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals 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 2100 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.
