Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasmonics, as a promising interdisciplinary field, has attracted significant attention due to its unique ability to confine and manipulate light at the nanoscale and plays a crucial role in various photonic applications. As the most extensive application platform for plasmonics, plasmonic metasurfaces and metamaterials are of great research significance for studying light–matter interactions and designing photonic devices. Plasmonic metasurfaces have shown remarkable capabilities in controlling the phase, amplitude, and polarization of light, enabling applications like high-efficiency lenses and holograms. Additionally, the integration of plasmonics with metasurfaces and metamaterials has opened up new avenues for designing compact and high-performance optical components.
This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research that explores recent advancements in plasmonic metasurfaces and metamaterials, emphasizing their transformative potential across optics, photonics, sensing, energy, and quantum technologies. With the rapid evolution of nanofabrication techniques, computational modeling, and novel material platforms, this field has unlocked unprecedented control over light–matter interactions at subwavelength scales. We believe that this collection of articles will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in plasmonic metasurfaces and metamaterials. We hope that it will inspire further innovation and collaboration in the field, leading to new perspectives and breakthroughs in plasmonics. It is within this context that we announce the Special Issue of Photonics entitled “Plasmonic Metasurfaces and Metamaterials”.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We invite papers that include but are not exclusive to the following topics: the theory and modeling of metamaterials/metasurfaces, ultrahigh-Q metasurfaces, nonlocal and quantum plasmonics, non-hermitian plasmonics, twisted light manipulation, nonlinear plasmonics, topological photonics with plasmonics, ultrafast plasmonic processes, 2D material-integrated metasystems, machine learning-driven design, dynamic and reconfigurable metasurfaces, and biosensing and imaging applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
