Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a novel optical imaging platform for updated optical image innovations and applications. Recent advancements have witnessed rapid progress in direct optical imaging and indirect optical imaging, which is the main theme of the present Special Issue. Coded aperture imaging, synthesized optical aperture imaging, interference, interferenceless or correlation imaging, computational imaging, holographic imaging, bio-inspired imaging, three-dimensional imaging, and quantum and ghost imaging are among the relevant topics of this Special Issue as well. Artificial Intelligence is an important tool for optical imaging and is a popular research theme in this area of study. Studies on conventional super-resolution imaging, including STED, PALM, STORM, and near-field imaging, may be considered, though we specifically encourage papers in the field of super-resolution imaging with large distances, in remote sensing and for astronomy. Special attention will be given to papers with synthesized apertures to break the imaging resolution limit. We encourage the submission of papers on the topic of novel and emerging new imaging technologies. The application of the innovative imaging technique is active and diverse, and the manuscript contributions in the field of nanoscopic and astronomic scales are also encouraged. Special attention should be given to papers on optical imaging for practical and real-world applications.

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.
