Advances in Optical System Design

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on exploring the latest developments in the field of optical system design. We are committed to sharing and discussing key issues and challenges in various aspects of optical system design, including, but not limited to, optical imaging technology, adaptive optical systems, laser radar, optical communication systems, etc. We invite experts and scholars from around the world to share their research achievements, technological innovations, and practical experience in the field of optical system design. We welcome submissions for theoretical research, experimental research, and engineering applications. Through this Special Issue, we hope to promote communication and cooperation between academia and industry, advance the development of advanced optical system design, and promote the application and progress of optical technology in various fields.

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.
