Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical coatings have been widely applied in various optical devices to perform antireflection, high reflection, beam splitting, and bandpass filtering. Due to the rapid progress of science and engineering, optical coatings are desired which offer more advanced performance, such as ultra-thin perfect absorption, perfect phase retardation, and wide-angle bandpass filtering. It is expected that diverse nanostructures and more materials will appear in coatings to support various needs. In order to detect the optical properties of thin films, new techniques for measuring complex-structured thin films have also been developed.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
(1) Novel applications in light harvest, lighting, 3D recognition, bio-sensing and display;
(2) Design, fabrication and application for layered metamaterials;
(3) New measurement and analysis for nanostructured thin films;
(4) Novel function prediction based on precise simulations;
(5) Bio-mimic and bio-inspired optical coatings;
This second Special Issue is the result of a successful first Issue. Contributions to this new Special Issue are welcomed on all subjects related to the theme, including the design, manufacturing and measurement of optical thin film coatings. Especially welcome are papers that raise new questions and new possibilities or examine old problems from a new angle.

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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
