Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of photonics has made great progress in various photonics design, manufacturing and application scenarios, including wavelengths from X-rays to microwaves. They can be applied in semiconductors, metals, and even dielectric materials. It is widely used in many fields, such as biomedicine, physics, the environment, energy, engineering, and even humanities. With the development of technology, research on new theories, technologies, phenomena and engineering aspects of photonics has become more and more urgent. Novel theoretical calculations, simulations or experimental verifications are of particular interest. For this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of theoretical, numerical and experimental papers.
Aim: This Special Issue focuses on exploring the fundamental principles behind photonic metasurfaces and their applications. It aims to gather advanced research that deepens our understanding of these structures and promotes innovation in the related fields.
Scope: The scope of this Special Issue encompasses theoretical investigations of photonic metasurface properties, design and fabrication techniques, as well as their applications in areas such as imaging, sensing, light manipulation, and communication. Both experimental and computational studies are welcome.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Photonic metasurfaces;
- Photonic principle;
- Photonic application;
- Light manipulation;
- Photonics medicine;
- Related electromagnetic research;
- Optoelectronic technology;
- Photonics/optical imaging;
- Photonics/optical sensing;
- Photonics/optical communication;
- Photonics/optical design;
- Photonics/optical fabrication;
- Photonics/optical devices and system;
- Photonics/optical technology with AI.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Photonics 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 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.
