Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology

Optical systems are ubiquitous in modern society, with an ever-increasing number of applications, covering Medical Sciences as vision technologies, surgical instrumentation, medical imaging and health monitoring; Featured Optical Materials for new generation of sensors and devices; Space Science Instrumentation as telescopes, lenses, spectrometers; Telecommunications as optical fiber technology, information processing, quantum computing; Industry, from cutting, welding, precision metrology and process control, energy harvesting, modern lightening and Military/Weaponry Technology, to name but a few examples. Furthermore, all of these technologies are nowadays crucial to performing applied research in areas such as chemistry and biology, providing fundamental analysis tools. The success of optical and photonic systems and technologies in high-end scientific research has also found its way into everyday consumer products such as printers, displays, discs, cameras and eyeglasses, not to forget that optical fiber is crucial to telecommunications in general and internet in particular. This special issue will precisely feature three different tracks on Photonics, Optics, and Lasers, covering both theoretical and practical aspects.

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-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.
