Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronic devices are special types of semiconductor devices that are able to convert light energy into electrical energy, or electrical energy into light energy. Light-emitting diodes (LED), solar cells, X-ray detectors and photodetectors are representative optoelectronic devices that are applicable in areas such as the military, telecommunications, automatic access control systems, and medical equipment. A photodetector is an optoelectronic device that converts incident light or other electromagnetic radiation from the UV, visible or infrared spectral regions into electrical signals. Photodetectors have received increasing interest from academic and industrial communities because of their promising applications in a wide range of areas that include image sensing, communications, environmental monitoring, space exploration, and telecommunications. With various low-dimensional nanostructures being used as building blocks, key figure-of-merit parameters of optoelectronic devices have been greatly improved in various applied scenarios.
This Special Issue aims to collect research articles concerning this topic to show the advantages of low-dimensional nanostructures in photodetector and optoelectronic devices. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Ultraviolet photodetecting technology and its application;
- Visible-light photodetecting technology and its application;
- Infrared photodetecting technology and its application;
- Terahertz photodetecting technology and its application;
- Weak-light photodetecting technology and its application;
- Polarization photodetecting technology and its application;
- Broadband and narrowband photodetecting technology and its application;
- High-speed imaging applications;
- High-sensitivity X-ray detector;
- High-performance LED technology;
- High-efficiency solar cell applications;
- Design and optimization of optoelectronic materials, etc.

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.
