Nanomaterials for Photonics and Optoelectronics: Practical Applications and Advances

Dear Colleagues,

Novel materials with properties that are relevant for technological applications addressing societal demands have motivated the search for even more innovative materials: new types of glass, glass ceramics, hybrid materials, colloids, polymers, and quantum dots, among others. This Topic will focus on diverse aspects of innovative methods for the synthesis and characterization of these materials, highlighting their applications for photonics and optoelectronics and reviewing recent advances in the field. This issue will cover different emerging topics based on advanced nanomaterials for new light sources, photovoltaic devices, optical amplifiers, random lasers, and technological solutions for flexible photonics, among others. We intend to make this Topic an important research reference for those wanting to learn more about nanomaterials and the way they can be used in photonics and optoelectronics.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
