Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prominent progress in the development of integrated all-optical and optoelectronic instruments based on 3D and quasi-infinite photonic and plasmonic metastructures has entered a new level in recent years due to possessing intriguing properties and having an undeniable role in the implementation of modern applications in diverse fields, including but not limited to medical diagnostics and label-free genetic analysis, cellular level imaging, astronomy, security and military, nondestructive quality control, high-bandwidth communication, and advanced computational systems. Such an extensive range of applications has thrust metadevice research from relative obscurity into the limelight. Pioneering attempts in metaphotonic and metaplasmonic devices and platforms date back to the previous century with the demonstration of waveguides, routers, lasers, filters, detectors, light harvesters, and sensors. Recent advancements in artificial materials research have enabled the emergence of efficient optical tools. Driven by the ongoing race to augment both responsivity and efficiency of photonic tools, researchers are now able to devise on-chip instruments in unique architectures. Keeping the progresses, challenges, and prospects in mind, this Special Issue of Photonics entitled “Advanced Metamaterials and Metadevices” focuses on fundamental and applied research in the field of metamaterials and associating devices in order to develop efficient, responsive, and integrated photonic and plasmonic metadevices.

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.
