Frontiers in Infrared Photodetection

Dear Colleagues,

Human vision is limited to a narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared photodetection technologies dramatically augment our visual perception, allowing us to see through fog and smoke, peer into the depths of space and pick up faint fluorescence signatures from living cells. This Sensors Special Issue Frontiers in infrared photodetection will capture a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in infrared photodetection technologies, including emerging device paradigms, techniques and applications.

Topics of interest:

• Near- to mid-infrared detectors, focal plane arrays cameras and bolometers
• Infrared low light level and photon-counting detectors
• Emerging device paradigms, such as novel semiconductor materials, graphene and two dimensional materials, superconductors, bioinspired detectors, frequency upconversion detection schemes.
• Ancillary technology, including optical coupling strategies, filters, readout circuits and practical cryogenic platforms for infrared detectors
• Frontier sensing applications in infrared photodetection: remote sensing, imaging, ranging, infrared fluorescence, spectroscopy, fault testing in integrated circuits.

Within the scope of the Special Issue, authors are encouraged to submit review articles, full-length technical articles and rapid communications. Submissions should indicate clearly how the work addresses current challenges in infrared photodetection. Authors are welcome to contact the Guest Editor to discuss outline 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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
