Recent Progress in Biophotonics

Dear Colleagues,

Biophotonics, a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of biology, optics, and photonics, has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years. This Special Issue, titled "Recent Progress in Biophotonics", aims to showcase the latest breakthroughs and innovations in various cutting-edge biophotonic imaging techniques and their applications in biomedicine. This collection of research articles brings together the most current developments in optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical coherence microscopy (OCM), photoacoustic tomography (PAT), photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), fluorescence microscopy (FM), as well as the emerging fields of pulmonary applications, cardiology applications, clearings, and organoids. Additionally, the integration of machine learning in biomedicine will be explored to demonstrate its potential in advancing the capabilities of biophotonics. As we delve into this Special Issue, we anticipate that the recent progress of research presented here will inspire further innovations in biophotonics, propelling the field towards unprecedented advancements in biomedical imaging and its impact on biophotonics. We extend our sincere gratitude to all the contributing authors for their exceptional contributions to this Special Issue, and we hope this collection will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of biophotonics.

Thank you all for your support and dedication to advancing the frontiers of knowledge in this fascinating domain.

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.
