Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of micro and nano-photonics is rapidly evolving, driven by the development of innovative materials and devices that operate at increasingly smaller scales. This special issue focuses on giving a comprehensive overview of latest advances in micro- and nano-photonics, with a particular emphasis on emerging materials, meso and nano photonics, and novel applications.
Recent breakthroughs in the synthesis and characterization of photonic materials have led to significant improvements in device performance, as well as a broadening of their applications. This issue will showcase a range of topics, including:
- Synthesis, characterization, spectroscopy, and applications of nanoparticles
- Synthesis, characterization, spectroscopy and applications of 2D materials
- Spectroscopy of hybrid materials, complexes, atomic and molecular clusters, and molecular aggregates
- Photonics of chiral micro and nanostructures
- Photonics of anisotropic micro and nanostructures
- Nanoand microparticles in biological research and medical diagnostics
- Light-matter interaction in biology and medicine
- Light-matter interaction at the mesoscale
- Light-emitting nanostructures, nano- and microlasers
- Photonic sensors and biosensors
- Single-particle and single-molecule studies
- Optical manipulation of nanoparticles and molecules, optical forces
Together, will also explore the potential of these emerging research areas to revolutionize industries such as healthcare and environmental monitoring. We invite you to contribute your cutting-edge results to this issue, highlighting the promising future of micro- and nano-photonics in fundamental research and practical applications.

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.
