Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure, and an honor, to present this Special Issue, “Recent Advances in Mathematical Optics”, of MDPI’s open access journal Mathematics (Q1; IF = 2.3). It aims to present recent advances in mathematical optics and future prospects of this key and fundamental research area. All interested authors are invited to submit their newest results on this research area for possible publication. All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer review processes of this journal (including the usual fees paid). There is the possibility to accept a few review papers, and so prospective authors are encouraged to submit their review proposals.
This Special Issue on mathematical optics aims to explore the intersection of mathematics and optical science, focusing on theoretical frameworks, computational techniques, and innovative applications. We encourage authors to contribute research articles, reviews, and case studies that delve into mathematical models and methods applicable to optical phenomena, such as light propagation, wavefront optics, imaging, and diffraction.
The scope encompasses various topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Analytical and numerical methods in optics.
- Wave optics and geometrical optics.
- Applications of inverse problems in optical imaging.
- Nonlinear optics and its mathematical modeling.
- Quantum optics and mathematical formulations.
- Light–matter interactions.
- Mathematical theory, tools, and methods.
- Photonic signal processing.
This Special Issue aims to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas among mathematicians, physicists, and engineers working in optics. Authors are invited to submit original research that advances the field and highlights mathematical techniques driving contemporary optical research.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Christian Cuadrado-Laborde
Guest Editor
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. Mathematics 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 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.
