TERA-MIR Photonics, Materials and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

The primary objective of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advances in materials, concepts, and device architectures that enable the generation and detection of radiation across the Terahertz (0.1–10 THz) and Mid-Infrared (10–100 THz) spectral ranges. These regions bridge the gap between electronics and photonics, offering unique opportunities for imaging, spectroscopy, and sensing. The issue will feature developments in semiconductor, superconductor, and metamaterial platforms, as well as innovative laser-based sources and detectors. Emphasis will be placed on photonic integration, new materials, and system-level approaches that enhance performance and scalability. In addition to fundamental science, contributions addressing emerging applications are strongly encouraged—from environmental monitoring and chemical sensing to biomedical diagnostics and food safety. By bringing together experts from diverse disciplines, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and outline the technological developments that will shape the future of TERA–MIR photonics.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
