Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro and nano optical technology is an exciting area within optics that studies how light interacts with, propagates through, and is controlled or manipulated by structures or devices at a subwavelength scale.
This Special Issue will mainly focus on the exploration of novel optical phenomena, innovative devices, and cutting-edge technologies that utilize diverse micro/nano structures such as multilayers, photonic crystals, metamaterials, and metasurfaces. We are also accepting works on twisted photonic structures and bound states in the continuum (BICs). We warmly invite authors from around the globe to contribute original research articles and review articles to this Special Issue that delve into the myriad applications of micro/nano optics.
Our topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Micro/nano optical technologies;
- Micro/nano structures;
- Micro/nano nanofabrication;
- Photonic crystals;
- Metamaterials;
- Metasurfaces;
- Plasmonics;
- Topological photonics;
- Polaritons;
- Twisted photonic structures;
- Bound states in the continuum (BICs).

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.
