Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices has witnessed remarkable progress over the past decades, driven by the rapid advancement of materials synthesis, nanofabrication, and photonic integration technologies. These devices, including photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, lasers, and modulators, play crucial roles in optical communication, sensing, imaging, and energy applications. At the same time, the increasing demand for high performance, miniaturization, and multifunctionality continues to pose significant challenges for device design, characterization, and fabrication.
This Special Issue, "Semiconductor Optoelectronic Devices: Characterizations, Design and Fabrication," aims to provide a timely platform for researchers to share their latest achievements and perspectives in this rapidly evolving field. We welcome original research articles, communications, and review papers covering a broad range of topics, including but not limited to, the following:
Novel semiconductor materials and heterostructures for optoelectronic applications;
Advanced device architectures and fabrication strategies;
Optical and electrical characterization techniques;
Device physics and performance optimization;
Emerging applications in communication, sensing, imaging, and quantum photonics.
We sincerely invite contributions from both academic and industrial researchers worldwide. Through this Special Issue, we hope to foster collaboration, exchange innovative ideas, and advance the understanding and development of next-generation optoelectronic technologies.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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.
