Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced photonics have been explosively expanded to provide novel photonic materials with varied applicability and increase the performance of optoelectronic devices/systems by integrating with them. Already, optoelectronics with photonics have been widely used in diverse fields ranging from light sources, solar energy harvesting, and photodetectors based on anti-/high-reflective structures, photonic crystals, and so forth.
In recent years, advanced photonics have been found to be able to open new pathways to novel applications, including energy-saving technologies (e.g., radiative cooling and solar steam generation), security (e.g., optical physically unclonable function), and biomedical applications (e.g., retinal prostheses). However, novel optoelectronic devices/systems with new photonic materials have barely been reported. In addition to efforts for device-level studies, challenges still remain in terms of enhancing the functionalities of photonic materials for mechanical/chemical/optical features and productibility (i.e., large-scalability and production cost). We invite exceptional scientists and researchers to submit their remarkable results on “Advanced Photonics and Optoelectronic Devices/Systems”.
This Special issue focuses on developments in photonic material itself and integration with optoelectronics. Additionally, comprehensive review articles are invited to summarize achievements of each field and provide a deeper understanding to the scientific communities.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
