Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical imaging, using light and the special properties of photons to obtain detailed images of molecules, organelles, cells, tissues and organs, has emerged as an indispensable tool in life sciences and medicine. In recent decades, the field of optical imaging has seen explosive advancements, with incredible technical breakthroughs, and has attracted significant interest for a broad range of applications, including capturing the in-depth details of biological processes and obtaining valuable information for disease diagnostics.
We are honored to serve as Guest Editors for this Special Issue, entitled “Optical Imaging Systems in Biomedicine”, acknowledging the achievements in this field. This Special Issue aims to report the latest advancements in optical imaging, including, but not limited to, innovative optical imaging techniques and their practical applications in biomedical research, as well as disease diagnosis.
We warmly invite researchers to submit their contributions to this Special Issue, in the form of both original research articles and review papers. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fluorescence imaging;
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT);
- Nonlinear optical imaging (second harmonic generation, coherent Raman/Brillouin and multiphoton fluorescence microscopy);
- Photoacoustic tomography and microscopy (PAT and PAM);
- Diffuse optical tomography and imaging (DOT and DOI);
- Super-resolution microscopy (STED, PALM/STORM and structured illumination imaging);
- Light-field microscopy;
- Phase imaging (quantitative phase microscopy, diffraction phase microscopy, optical diffraction tomography and digital holography microscopy);
- Light-sheet microscopy (selective plane illumination microscopy);
- Computational imaging (Fourier ptychography, single-pixel imaging and intensity diffraction tomography);
- Endoscopy;
- Bioluminescence imaging;
- Photothermal microscopy;
- THz imaging;
- Adaptive optics in optical imaging systems.
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.
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.
