Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Terahertz waves have a wide range of promising applications in fields such as security inspections, material detection, and communications. With the development of terahertz photonics, various terahertz techniques have also emerged in recent years. Metamaterials, as subwavelength optical elements, have efficient and abundant modulation capabilities of electromagnetic waves. The design strategy of phase mutation is introduced at the interface, breaking the design limitation of traditional optical components. It provides significant convenience for controlling the wavefront of electromagnetic waves. Based on the generalized Snell law, researchers have proposed a variety of metasurface devices with rich functions, including meta-holography, metalens, vortex beams, vector polarization, surface waves, and so on.
This Special Issue welcomes both simulation and experimental research and addresses the latest progress on Metamaterials and Terahertz Photonics.
The following areas are of interest:- Metasurfaces and metamaterials;
- Waveguides, fiber, and photonic crystals;
- Nanophotonics and plasmonics;
- Biophotonics;
- Structured light field modulation;
- Nonlinear and ultrafast optics;
- Integrated optics;
- Terahertz applications such as radars, wireless, and wired communications.

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.
