Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that document the recent advances in “Terahertz Science in Advanced Materials, Devices and Systems”.
Terahertz science and technology, defined as the frequency range of 0.3–30 THz, has attracted a great deal of interest owing to its potential applications. Terahertz waves bridge electronics and photonics, as well as classical and quantum physics, located in an undeveloped research area. This Special Issue aims at highlighting recent advances in THz devices, THz functional materials, and THz application systems.
We will consider theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers that cover, but are not limited to, these topics:
(1) Advances in THz sources, detectors, and components;
(2) Advanced functional materials for THz devices;
(3) Ultrafast carrier dynamics and THz nonlinear science, and new quantum physics in advanced materials;
(4) Progress in THz systems for novel applications such as:
industrial inspection, and non-destructive evaluation,
defense and security,
imaging and spectroscopy for bio/medical diagnostics,
information processing and computing,
electronics/information/broadband communications.

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.
