Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonic materials and technologies serve crucial roles in information processing, chemical sensors, biological imaging, light-emitting devices, and optical memory, among other essential applications. They cover a wide range of materials and material technologies, such as wide band-gap semiconductors, materials for magnetic data storage, diamond materials for extra-bright display screens, nanomaterials for next-generation displays, semiconductor laser materials, and so on. The development of photonic materials also benefits functional photonic devices and optical systems and leads to a wide range of applications.
This Special Issue will collect both reviews and original research papers that explore advances in photonic materials and photonic/optical systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas:
Photonic materials; nonlinear optics; photonic devices; photonic sensors; nanophotonics; biophotonics; upconversion materials; quantum dots; nano-diamond; fluorescence microscopy; super-resolution microscopy; computational imaging; single-pixel imaging; plasmonic; polarization imaging; near-infrared imaging; unconventional imaging; lifetime, on-chip imaging.

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.
