Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous progress made in nanophotonics has seen many new principles, materials, devices, and systems proposed. Nanophotonics has played a vital role in communication, measurements, sensors, and so on due to its advantages, including small size, stability, high performance, and large-scale integration.

Photonics is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, and aims to establish a leading venue for publishing high-impact fundamental research, as well as applications of optics and photonics. This Special Issue is well matched with the scope of the journal and covers various interesting topics related to “Integrated Optoelectronics and Integrated Optics”, inviting submissions from both the academic and industrial communities.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts within the scope of the Special Issue including, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Nanosilicon photonics;
  • Novel integrated photonic materials development and devices design;
  • Integrated nonlinear optics and ultrafast optics;
  • Nanosensors and nanolasers;
  • Nanofabrication techniques for nanophotonics;
  • Systems based on nanophotonic devices.

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.

In recent years, dynamically tunable structural color has attracted great interest. Here, we introduce the guided-mode resonance (GMR) filter and the phase-change material Sb2S3 to design a reflective optical metasurface to produce tunable structural color, in which the combination of the GMR filter, with narrow resonant wavelength, and the Sb2S3, with a much larger bandgap and higher refractive index, helps to produce high-quality tunable structural color. The simulation results indicate that through the phase transition between the amorphous and crystalline states of Sb2S3, the proposed metasurface can generate tunable structural color that can be perceived by the naked eye. Furthermore, the metasurface can sensitively sense environmental changes through changes in structural color. This work provides a new method for realizing dynamically tunable structural color, and paves the way for the application of controllable structural color in dynamic displays, optical stealth, colorimetric sensing, and other fields.

We demonstrate a phase-sensitive and amplification-based all-optical phase regenerator by utilizing on-chip Kerr soliton combs. In the experiment, we demonstrate the direct generation of a Kerr soliton comb in a silicon nitride micro-ring at the receiver side of optical communication systems by applying the transmitted signal as a pump light. The mutual coherence between the signal and the regenerated Kerr comb is excellent, and the all-optical phase regeneration of a 20 GBaud/s QPSK signal is achieved. In contrast to the traditional scheme, our solution shows better SWaP (size, weight, and power) factors. Our study will enhance the relay and reception performance of all-optical communication systems. Full article

Unidirectional electromagnetic modes have significant potential for routing electromagnetic radiation and are highly desirable for various applications, such as isolators, splitters, and switches. In this study, we theoretically investigate surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) in a four-layer structure consisting of a perfect magnetic conductor (PMC)–semiconductor–dielectric–metal, which exhibits complete unidirectional propagation. We extend this structure to a 3D model by decreasing the width of the PMC-semiconductor part to an appropriate value and demonstrate that the SMPs in the proposed 3D waveguide retain complete unidirectional propagation. Our findings indicate that the unidirectional SMPs are robust to backscattering caused by surface roughness and defects. Moreover, the proposed 3D waveguide can be efficiently coupled to conventional microstrip line waveguides. Our results (based on the numerical method) demonstrate that SMPs based on semiconductors offer a promising approach to creating devices with new functionalities in the terahertz regime below the diffraction limit.
