Optical Imaging and Measurements

Dear Colleagues,

An optical wave carries plenty of information by modulating its amplitude, phase, polarization or coherence. As a result, different types of imaging and measurement techniques have been developed. Traditional optical imaging is two-dimensional, and thus, what you see is what you get. Modern optical imaging is multidimensional, meaning what you compute is what you get. Computational optical imaging restores image information by accurately characterizing multidimensional light fields and using advanced modulation and demodulation techniques. It provides a new way to break through the limitations of traditional imaging technology. A large number of exciting research developments are helping to continuously improve the performance of these optical imaging and measurement techniques under different situations. Hence, real-time imaging and dynamic measurements with high resolution and accuracy are increasingly becoming a reality.

The objectives of this Special Issue are to report on the advances in optical imaging and measurements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• 3D imaging;
• Phase imaging;
• Polarization imaging;
• Computational optical imaging;
• Optical coherence tomography;
• Digital holography;
• Speckle interferometry;
• Optical triangulation measurements.

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. 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.
