Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the photonics industry has experienced rapid growth in many sectors. The application scenarios range from a biomedicine, telecommunications, routine microscopy, and process monitoring at industrial facilities to telescopy, the observation of gravitational waves, and sensing with quantum light. This progress is generating intense demand for the development and advancement of optical materials, which are the cornerstone of light handling and manipulation. The development of new photonic devices and detectors, extending operating ranges, reducing losses, increasing sensitivity, and the ability to generate light with desired properties are just a few examples related to materials development.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the latest advances in optical materials facilitating the progress of photonic technologies and, thus, aims to dissiminate the most recent result in this field. Topics will cover a broad range of materials: semiconductors, glasses, linear and nonlinear materials, crystals, active and passive systems, fibers and waveguides, metamaterials, quantum dots, mirrors, and coatings.
Researchers that have unpublished original results in the above-mentioned areas and are keen for rapid dissemination are encouraged to contribute in the form of research and review articles.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
