Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A liquid photonic device refers to a novel optoelectronic device. It is different from a traditional photonic device made of solid-state material. Liquid is employed as the optical media of a liquid photonic device. Liquid photonic devices are superior to traditional solid-state assemblies in terms of reduced bulk and weight, as well as having a high-speed response, low material costs, and facile fabrication. Such benefits can be used in imaging applications where space is at a premium. With the development of new optoelectric technology and novel materials, liquid photonic devices are experiencing significant advances.
This Special Issue aims to present the recent advances in liquid photonic devices. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Liquid lens.
- Liquid crystal lens.
- Liquid beam deflector.
- Liquid prism.
- Microfluidics.
- Electrowetting effect.
- Dielectrophoretic effect.
- Dielectric elastomer.

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.
