Advances in Optical Instrument and Measurement Technology

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, with the development of laser sources, measurement approaches and new materials, many new technologies or applications of measurement and new optical instruments have appeared. Therefore, this Special Issue is intended for the presentation of new ideas and experimental results in the field of high-performance optical instruments and measurement technology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: optical design, fabrication and testing; ultrafast optic development; computational optical imaging; analog image processing with optical metasurfaces and metamaterials; novel techniques in microscopy; fiber-optic sensors; laser measurement; digital holographic metrology and sensing; micro- and nanophotoelectric measurement.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
