Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanophotonics is a rapidly evolving field at the nexus of nanotechnology and photonics and is paving the way for transformative advancements across various scientific and industrial domains. The development of nanomaterials with tailored optical properties and innovative design methodologies has facilitated unprecedented control over light–matter interactions, thus creating opportunities for miniaturization, enhanced functionality, and new applications.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest progress in nanophotonics-based nanomaterials and their diverse applications. We seek contributions that highlight novel approaches in material design, fabrication techniques, and theoretical insights, as well as their integration into practical systems. This collection will serve as a platform to advance the understanding of nanophotonic phenomena and foster innovation in emerging applications such as sensing, quantum technologies, and biophotonics.
Topics of Interest:
- Nanophotonic Applications: Innovative applications in optical and photonic systems.
- Advanced Sensing and Detection: Nanophotonics-enabled high-performance sensors.
- Quantum Photonics: Cutting-edge materials and devices for quantum photonic applications.
- Nonlinear Optical Processes: Novel materials and mechanisms for nonlinear optics.
- Design and Fabrication: State-of-the-art techniques for designing and fabricating nanophotonic devices.
- Metamaterials: Development of metamaterials with unique optical properties and functionalities.
- Photonic Crystals: Applications and advancements in photonic crystal technologies.
- Emerging Fields: New applications in biophotonics, telecommunications, and energy.

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.
