Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Terahertz metamaterial optics represent a rapidly growing field of research that focuses on manipulating and controlling terahertz waves. This emerging technology utilizes engineered structures known as metamaterials to achieve unprecedented control over THz radiation. By employing the unique properties of metamaterials, researchers aim to develop advanced devices such as THz metasurfaces, photodetectors, and dynamic modulators. The potential applications of THz metamaterial optics extend to diverse areas, including plasmonics, ultrahigh-sensitivity biosensing, optofluidics, and high-speed communication systems.

This Special Issue aims to present original state-of-the-art research articles to discuss the advancements in THz metamaterial optics and devices including their potential applications. It will include but is not limited to solicited papers dealing with novel plasmonics, THz metasurface designs, ultrahigh-sensitivity biosensing and biosensor technologies, terahertz–liquid interactions in optofluidics, THz broadband photodetectors, and THz dynamic modulators.

We strongly encourage the submission of papers focusing on the keywords listed below. However, studies on other related THz topics will also be considered.

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.
