Advanced Optical Manufacturing Technologies and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will publish selected papers from the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Optical Manufacturing Technologies and Applications, and the 4th International Forum of Young Scientists on Advanced Optical Manufacturing (AOMTA and YSAOM 2024) (https://b2b.csoe.org.cn/meeting/YSAOM2024.html) on micromachines in Xi’an, China, 5–7th July 2024.

We aim to collect high-quality research papers and review articles from AOMTA and YSAOM 2024, which focus on advanced optical manufacturing technology, optical intelligent manufacturing, ultra-precision manufacturing, precision measurement, intelligent sensing and control, and material science. This conference will cover the following main topics:

1. Large optical mirror and telescope technology;
2. Micro-nanostructure optics and manufacturing technologies;
3. Ultra-precision machining technology for optical complex surfaces and functional structures;
4. Ultra-precision optical measurement technology and equipment;
5. High-performance manufacturing technology for short-wavelength optical components;
6. High-efficiency optical precision processing technologies and new methods;
7. High-performance optical microstructure manufacturing processes and equipment;
8. Advanced optical coating technology and equipment;
9. Optical design, assembly, and system modeling technology;
10. Manufacturing and applications of optofluidic chip and liquid crystal optics.

Papers attracting the most interest at the conference, or that provide novel contributions, will be selected for publication in Micromachines. These papers will be peer-reviewed for the validation of research results, developments, 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. 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.
