Plasmonic Metasurfaces

Dear Colleagues,

Metasurfaces, the two-dimensional analogue of metamaterials, have in recent years been attracting progressively increasing attention due to their planar configurations and thereby relative ease of fabrication while enabling unprecedented control over transmitted and reflected optical fields, including their phase, amplitude, polarization, helicity, and angular momentum. All this is accomplished by tailoring optically thin planar arrays of subwavelength elements. Considering the control and management of reflected optical fields, including coupling to surface waves, the usage of plasmonic arrays with elements supporting localized surface plasmon resonances seems to be the most appropriate and efficient approach. This Special Issue is launched to provide the possibility for researchers in the area of plasmonic metasurfaces to highlight the most recent theoretical and experimental developments and to discuss different metasurface configurations, their operation principles, and potential applications.

For this Special Issue, papers are expected to address the following topics:

• Fundamentals of plasmonic metasurfaces
• Wavefront and polarization engineering
• Coupling to electromagnetic surface modes
• Hybrid plasmonic-dielectric metasurfaces
• 2D materials and plasmonic metasurfaces
• Dynamic plasmonic metasurfaces
• Nonlinear plasmonic metasurfaces
• Quantum plasmonic metasurfaces
• Nonreciprocal and topological plasmonic metasurfaces
• Novel effects and extreme functionalities

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.
