Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonics has become one of the cornerstones in today’s science and technology. Based on the promising advancements in novel photonic materials, the exploitation of new optical phenomena creates opportunities for developments in solar cells, optical communication, holographic and magneto-optic memories, biochemical and environmental sensors, miscellaneous lighting sources emitting diodes, metrology, quantum computing, advanced imaging apparatus and many more applications. Further investigation will continuously focus on the performance enhancement, cost reduction in photonic components, increased functionalities and levels of system integrations, rapidly facilitating photonic materials and components into new areas of discovery.
For the above-mentioned reasons, it is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to the Materials Special Issue on Photonic Materials and Components. In this Special Issue, we aim at covering recent progress and novel trends in the fields of photonic materials and components, particularly focused on original research ranging from fundamental research and promising design ideas to novel material configurations, advanced fabrications techniques and broad exploitations with supported optical phenomena on the modern photonics devices. Potential specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Disruptive concept and theoretical demonstration on the control of light-matter interactions;
- Natural and artificial materials synthesis and advanced fabrication techniques;
- Discovery and characterizations of novel photonic phenomena;
- Integration of miniaturized photonic components on flexible substrates;
- Optical sensing technologies.

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. Materials 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.
