Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Arrays of micro electromechanical (MEMS) mirrors, sometimes referred to as a digital micromirror device (DMD), have been commercially available for over 2 decades. During this period, their predominant commercial use has been for digital projection. This mature, robust technology has been applied to many and various applications across a range of disciplines. The list of applications continues to grow. The particular benefits of these micromirror arrays for the manipulation of light involve speed, wide spectral bandwidth and high power handling capability in comparison to other types of new applications and disciplines.
This Special Issue aims to collect a range of applications and techniques that make use of these arrays to demonstrate the versatility of the devices.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may discuss (but is not limited to) the following:
- Wavefront control;
- Wide bandwidth optics;
- Spectroscopy;
- Holography and diffractive control;
- Mode generation and selective filtering;
- Optical computation;
- Lithography;
- Confocal microscopy;
- Hyperspectral imaging.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. David Benton
Guest Editor
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.
