Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since beginning in December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread over the world. The Biophotonics community has rapidly responded with innovative biomedical optics technologies helping in the fight against COVID-19.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight these innovative approaches to addressing COVID-19 with Biophotonics. We invite original research articles and state-of-the-art reviews focused on current knowledge and future perspectives of Biophotonics for COVID-19 diagnosis, management, and treatment.
The overall goal of the issue is to highlight the versatility of Biophotonics for responding to new health challenges with direct clinical implications.
Topics include:
- Innovative Biophotonics technologies helping in the fight against COVID-19
- Optical methods for quantifying the immune response to SARS-CoV-2
- Fast and reliable diagnostic tools
- New optical wearables for COVID-19
- New developments in pulse oximetry
- Diffuse optics for the evaluation of microvascular and endothelial health of different tissues
- Photonics industry responses to COVID-19

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.
