Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past two decades, integrated optical devices have proved to be a promising platform for nonlinear optical frequency conversion. Originating from second- and third-order nonlinear interactions, optical frequency conversion can provide coherent light for various applications, such as light sources for imaging in scattering media, which remains an important but challenging issue. Hyperspectral imaging can enhance imaging performance, as it provides spectral and spatial information simultaneously by combining imaging and spectroscopy. However, traditional hyperspectral sources have a low inter-spectral resolution, thus limiting imaging clarity to a certain extent. Therefore, a compact and robust hyperspectral imaging light source (such as frequency combs) generated by an integrated optical platform is urgently required. This Special Issue of Photonics seeks contributions focusing on nonlinear and integrated optics and their application in laser measurements, hyperspectral imaging, and polarization imaging. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Nonlinear optics;

Frequency combs;

Integrated optics;

Optical vortices;

Structured light;

Laser measurements;

Hyperspectral imaging;

Polarization imaging;

Optical imaging.

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.
