Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational photonics plays an indispensable role in the study of fundamental optics, and in applied branches such as photonic device design, development, and optimization. This Special Issue aims to advance, enhance, and broaden the combination of algorithms and techniques in computational photonics in the context of the rapid development of optoelectronics technology and industry.
Essentially, computational photonics is used to solve Maxwell’s equations, or the equivalent form of one or the other. At different length scales, that is, the ratio between optical wavelength and the size/feature-size scattering object, Maxwell’s equations can be approximated to different levels of simplicity, and light scattering behavior can be dramatically different. At only one scale, modeling Maxwell’s equations under the influence of complex geometries/materials is already a challenging task; thus, it tends to be more challenging to model Maxwell’s equations at multiple scales. The current Special Issue covers all aspects of computational photonics, with particular emphasis on the multi-scale modelling and optimization of photonic devices. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Multi-scale modeling of photonic devices;
- Finite element algorithm in photonic modeling;
- FDTD/FEFD algorithm in photonic modeling;
- Optimization algorithm in photonics;
- Eigen-mode expansion algorithm in photonic modeling;
- Fourier modal algorithm in photonic modeling;
- Domain decomposition algorithm in photonic modeling;
- Field/ray-tracing algorithm in photonic modeling;
- Computational adaptive optics;
- Computational imaging/displays;
- Computational inverse scattering.

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.
