Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Manipulating the polarization of light has attracted significant interest in various fields such as optoelectronics, biology and photonics. Polarization microscopy and imaging, optical communications and sensing are just a few examples of technological applications that utilize the unique properties of polarized light.
The main objective of this Special Issue on “Polarization-Enabled Optics” is to gather theoretical and experimental studies that demonstrate the cutting-edge advancements in new technological implementations utilizing polarization optics. Our aim is to establish a platform for studies concerning devices, materials, or systems that leverage the polarization characteristics of electromagnetic fields, thus enabling for new wide-range technological innovations.
To this end, we warmly invite all scientists in the field of Photonics to contribute to this collaborative effort. We encourage the submissions of original research articles and reviews for this Special Issue. The research areas covered may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Polarization-dependent spectroscopy;
- Polarization-dependent optical properties of materials;
- Anisotropic materials (metasurfaces, 2D materials, photonic crystals);
- Optical imaging and microscopy;
- Optical polarization devices;
- Polarization optics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Evripidis Michail

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.
