Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
When talking about electromagnetic (EM) stealth and shielding technology, we usually mean to reduce the transmission/reflection of EM waves in the microwave or millimeter wave frequency ranges, and the performance in the optical frequency range is not considered. However, the optical windows are universally applied nowadays, which requires high transparency in visible-light and/or infrared wavebands. This raises the more and more urgent demand for EM stealth and shielding technology with optical transparency.
This is actually a very complex interdisciplinary subject, involving both scientific and engineering problems. In the material area, the transparent and conductive materials are involved, including transparent and conductive oxide (TCO), metal mesh (MM), and 2D nanomaterials. In the fabrication area, many precise patterning technologies are involved, including photolithography, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing, nanoimprinting, and laser direct-write etching. In the design area, many EM absorber design technologies are used, including equivalent circuit method, characteristic mode method, metamaterial method, and others.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that introduce the recent advances in “EM stealth and shielding technologies with optical transparency”. All theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers are welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Transparent and conductive oxide, fabrication and characterization;
- Metal mesh, fabrication and characterization;
- 2D nanomaterials applied for EM stealth and shielding;
- Metamaterial design for EM stealth and shielding;
- Design, measurement, and analysis of optically transparent EM absorbers;
- Design, measurement, and analysis of optically transparent EM stealth technologies;
- Design, measurement, and analysis of optically transparent EM shielding technologies.

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.
