Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optomechanics is a highly interdisciplinary field, which studies interactions between electromagnetic fields generated by laser photons and movable mechanical objects. It can manipulate/detect mechanical motion through optical photons. It covers both fundamental research and engineering and it is at the intersection of optics, mesoscopic condensed matter physics, micro/nano-mechanics, circuits quantum electrodynamics, and nanotechnologies. For engineering scopes, it covers research in optical/electronic components based on optomechanics, such as optomechanical circulators, amplifiers, thermometry, microwave-to-optical transducers, sensors, and real-time detectors. Besides, explorations of optical instruments or components serving for quantum engineering are also indispensable for this issue, such as performing massive objects’ entanglements, dynamically cooling down mechanical systems to a quantum ground state, and detecting Casimir effects.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to demonstrate new concepts of devices and methodologies in optomechanics and to present recent progress in ameliorating device performance and relevant technologies. It covers aspects of theory, modeling, and experiments.

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.
