Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Terahertz radiation, generally defined in the frequency range of 0.1–10 THz, has attracted tremendous interest owing to it having potential applications in imaging and spectroscopy for medical diagnostics and biology, broadband communications, security, defense, and nondestructive testing. Interest in the THz range has recently increased due to the allocation of frequency bands in this region of the spectrum providing large amounts of available bandwidth for both the existing 5G and emerging 6G wireless communications standards. Access to these bands is key for next-generation wireless communications with terabit-per-second speeds. Furthermore, recent rapid advances in photonic integration technology into the THz field is crucial for compact and efficient chip-scale systems. This is further enabling THz systems to become versatile and programmable. This Special Issue will address the current progress and latest breakthroughs in emergent applications of THz photonics, covering, among others, the following areas of interest:
- THz emitters, CW and pulsed;
- THz photonic detectors and mixers;
- THz surface-structured plasmonics and metamaterials;
- Tunable THz devices;
- THz waveguides, fiber and photonic crystals;
- Signal processing techniques and enabling devices (phased arrays, high-Q resonators, modulators, filters, absorbers, etc.);
- Photonic-driven antenna arrays for THz beam forming and steering;
- THz applications such as radars, wireless and wired communications, non-destructive inspection and evaluation, space-based systems, and imaging systems;
- Terahertz biophotonics.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
