Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasmonic metasurfaces have emerged as a revolutionary technology, enabling unprecedented control over electromagnetic waves at the nanoscale. These engineered surfaces have demonstrated significant potential in applications spanning optical communication, sensing, imaging, and energy harvesting. By leveraging plasmonic resonances and nanophotonic principles, metasurfaces can manipulate light–matter interactions with high efficiency, opening new frontiers in science and technology.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research on the design, fabrication, and application of plasmonic metasurfaces. We welcome contributions that explore novel theoretical approaches, experimental advancements, and interdisciplinary applications in areas such as optical signal processing, biosensing, quantum optics, wireless communications, and beyond. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced design and fabrication techniques for plasmonic metasurfaces;
- Plasmonic metasurfaces for optical and wireless communication systems;
- Applications in sensing, imaging, and energy harvesting;
- Integration of metasurfaces with IoT and smart city technologies;
- Emerging trends in nanophotonics and light–matter interaction.
We invite researchers from diverse fields, including physics, engineering, and materials science, to contribute their latest findings and insights to this Special Issue.
Regards,
Prof. Dr. Tao Wang

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.
