Extreme Photonics
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent developments in nano- and mesoscale photonics, nanotechnology, and materials science have made it possible to tailor light-matter interaction and artificial materials with unusual and often with extreme properties. Such “extreme photonics”, both dielectric and metal, provide unprecedented possibilities and functional properties in optics, physics, and engineering.
We strongly encourage the submission of articles for this Special Issue. Both original research papers and review articles describing state-of-the-art innovations in this research field are welcome.
This Special Issue will cover a range of topics from the field, including but not limited to the following:
- Extreme subdiffraction resolution and applications;
- Extreme light confinement;
- Single-photon photonics;
- Extreme optical or THz bandwidths;
- Extreme pulse emission;
- Extreme light-matter interaction;
- Materials with extremely low energy velocity or high phase velocity;
- Atom-thick-scale thin materials;
- Deep subwavelength optical or acoustical vortexes;
- Extreme anisotropy, giant nonlinearity, etc.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
