Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating various materials and systems, offering unique insights into their fundamental properties. With rapid advancements in THz technology, new methodologies and applications are continually being developed, expanding its impact across various scientific and industrial domains.
This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest advancements in THz spectroscopy, focusing on novel techniques, materials, and applications. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore innovative trends in THz spectroscopy, including but not limited to:
- Novel THz Sources and Detectors
- THz Imaging and Sensing Technologies
- Biological and Medical Applications of THz Spectroscopy
- THz Applications in Security and Non-Destructive Testing
- Advanced Materials Characterization Using THz Spectroscopy
- Testing and Characterising of Optical Surfaces
- Industrial and Environmental Applications of THz Technology
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that highlight groundbreaking research, introduce new experimental and theoretical approaches, and present innovative applications of THz spectroscopy. We look forward to your valuable submissions and to fostering discussions that advance the field.

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.
