Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanophotonics is a field of study that focuses on the interaction between light and nanoscale structures, typically at the scale of 1 to 100 nm. It involves the use of advanced technologies to manipulate and control light in nanoscale devices and structures, with the aim of creating novel applications and improving existing ones. Nanophotonics has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of fields, including telecommunications, sensing, energy harvesting, and biomedical imaging. By manipulating light at the nanoscale, researchers can create materials with unique optical properties, design devices with high efficiency and sensitivity, and develop new methods for detecting and manipulating biological molecules. Some of the key areas of research in nanophotonics include plasmonics, which involves the interaction of light with metallic nanoparticles; metamaterials, which are artificial materials with unique optical properties; and quantum optics, which explores the behavior of light at the quantum level.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that report on the recent advances in nanophotonic devices. Theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies are welcome on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Optical micro/nano-sensors and systems;
- Nanophotonics for sensing and biosensing applications;
- Nanophotonics for optoelectronics and data communication;
- Neuromorphic circuits and photonic artificial intelligence;

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.
