Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metasurfaces represent a groundbreaking approach to controlling electromagnetic waves, enabling unprecedented functionalities and compact designs. These two-dimensional structures, composed of subwavelength-scale elements, have become a cornerstone in modern photonics and optoelectronics, transforming applications in imaging, sensing, telecommunications, and beyond.
The potential of metasurface-based devices spans diverse domains, from wavefront shaping and polarization manipulation to beam steering and holography. Their ability to achieve high efficiency, reconfigurability, and integration into planar platforms makes them a pivotal technology for next-generation systems.
Building on the growing interest and rapid advancements in this field, we are pleased to announce this Special Issue dedicated to “Metasurface-Based Devices and Systems”. We invite high-quality reviews, original research articles, and interdisciplinary contributions that address topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Design, simulation, and optimization of novel metasurfaces.
- Applications in imaging, sensing, and communication technologies.
- Advances in tunable, reconfigurable, and multifunctional metasurfaces.
- Material innovations and scalable fabrication methods for metasurfaces.
- Integration of metasurfaces into optoelectronic and photonic systems.
We aim to provide a platform for highlighting state-of-the-art research and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration in this rapidly evolving field. Your contributions are invaluable in shaping the future of metasurface technologies and their transformative impact on science and industry.

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 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.
