Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, plasmonic and photonic nanostructures are used in our daily modern lives in information and communication optical nanotechnologies. While plasmonic nanostructures have been extensively explored in the literature, photonic (dielectric) nanostructures have several advantages over their plasmonic counterparts, including low dissipative losses and near-field enhancement of both electric and magnetic fields. Although we found in the literature the discussion and proposal of novel phenomena and the understand of the physics, there is a lack of literature dedicated to fabrication technologies and their integration processes.
This Special Issue focuses on the fabrication and integration technologies of optical nanostructures, including metasurfaces and photonic devices that control and modulate the intensity, phase, and wavefront of light. This focus covers all kinds of advanced fabrication and integration technologies, such as nanoimprinting and wafer-level optical device fabrication techniques, but also more standard fabrication technologies such as electron- and focused ion-beam lithographies. Simulation methods to guide and improve device performance and fabrication process as well as measurement technologies for novel phenomena are also covered.
We would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue through research articles or comments introducing the latest progress in fabrication and integration technologies of plasmonic and photonic nanostructures, thereby pushing the development and applications of these innovative optical nanostructures towards applications in communications, sensing, sustainable energy and the environment, biology and medicine, and space laser communications.

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. Micromachines 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).
