Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interferometric optics is a branch of modern optics that offers a theoretical basis for related applied optics, including interferometry, optical holography, contactless measurement methods, etc. It is widely applied in many fields, such as length metrology, advanced manufacturing, precision engineering, scientific instruments, etc. With the development of modern science and technology, many methods and techniques have been derived. High-resolution, high-accuracy, high-sampling-rate and real-time monitoring, and contactless performances are usually expected when using interferometric optics. However, performance limitations often depend on the boundary conditions of scientific research and engineering applications.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Interferometric Optics and Applications” aims to present state-of-art interferometric optics in terms of both its theoretical research and field applications. This collection welcomes basic, methodological, and applied research contributions in the form of regular and review papers. Potential topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- Novel mechanisms and technologies in interferometric optics;
- Novel interferometer instruments or devices for engineering applications;
- High-performance dimensional metrology;
- Optomechanical designs and system integration;
- Optical processing, manufacturing, and inspection;
- Phase modulation/demodulation of interferometry;
- Optic–electronic detection techniques for interferometric optics;
- Data-driven artificial intelligence-enabled data processing methods;
- The evaluation and comparison of interferometers’ performance;
- Applications of performance-enhanced interferometers in industrial applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
