Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in optical imaging and sensing technologies, aiming to showcase innovative methods and applications that address current challenges in biomedical, environmental, and industrial contexts. Recent developments in photonics, quantum optics, and artificial intelligence are transforming the landscape of optical technologies, providing unprecedented precision, speed, and versatility in data acquisition and analysis. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Novel optical imaging modalities (e.g., hyperspectral imaging, super-resolution imaging);
- Optical sensors and photonic systems for medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring;
- Nonlinear and quantum optical techniques for advanced imaging and sensing;
- Integration of machine learning and deep learning in optical data processing;
- Multimodal imaging systems and their applications;
- Techniques for enhancing imaging resolution and reducing noise in challenging environments.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers to share their findings and insights, fostering collaboration and innovation in the optics and photonics community. Original research articles, reviews, and case studies are welcome.

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. Optics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
