Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical remote sensors use the sunlight reflected by the ground, from ultraviolet spectrum to infrared spectrum, to perform optical imaging of the Earth. The obtained optical information has made important contributions to the fields of Earth environment, Earth resources, urban planning and national security, etc. Facing the human exploration of the Universe, the observation object of optical remote sensors is not only the Earth; the exploration of planets and extrasolar galaxies in the solar system is also inseparable from optical remote sensors or space optical telescopes. There are many classifications of optical remote sensors, including imaging cameras, surveying cameras, spectrometers, thermal imagers, etc., which can provide rich remote sensing data. As a scientific instrument, the research and development of optical remote sensors is multidisciplinary work, involving a wide range of disciplines such as optics, mechanics, materials science, electronics, computer science, etc.
This Special Issue aims to publish selected contributions on advances in the design and development of optical remote sensors. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Optical remote sensor design;
- Optical system design;
- Technology for manufacturing and testing optical elements;
- Opto-mechanical structure;
- Optical remote sensor design simulation;
- Infrared photoelectricity technology;
- New imaging systems for optical remote sensor;
- Future development of optical remote sensors;
- Applications of optical remote sensors.

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.
