Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an open-access academic journal, Symmetry is peer-reviewed and internationally recognized and ranked. The purpose of this Special Issue is to help document findings and achievements in all fields of optics, photonics, and optoelectronics among academic peers.
Optics, photonics, and optoelectronics are all related, and the development of new technologies like telecommunications, computing, medicine, and energy depends on the progress of all three. Optics is the branch of science that studies light and how it interacts with different kinds of matter. It covers a variety of different topics, such as geometrical optics, physical optics, and quantum optics. Photonics is the branch of science that studies how light is made, how it can be changed, and how it can be found. It includes both the study of optics and the creation of optical technologies that can be used in real life, such as sensing and imaging. Some examples of these uses are in imaging and telecommunications. Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that looks at how light interacts with different parts of electronics, like semiconductors. It is part of the field of electronics, focusing on ideas such as how to design and make optoelectronic devices, i.e., light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes, as well as how to use these devices for things like telecommunications, sensing, and imaging. This Special Issue focuses on recent research contributions, projects, and applications related to symmetry and asymmetry in optics, photonics, and optoelectronics.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts within the scope of the Special Issue including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Quantum optics: The field of quantum optics is developing quickly, with new advances in quantum communication and quantum computing using light.
- Nonlinear optics: Researchers have been able to develop new techniques to control light at the nanoscale, such as by using plasmonic structures and metamaterials. This can enable new applications in imaging, sensing, and energy harvesting.
- Optical materials, components, devices, and subsystems.
- Optical communications, Optical wireless communications, and Space and underwater optical communications.
- Optics in 5G: The advent of 5G networks has prompted a renewed focus on the development of advanced optical technologies for telecommunications, such as beamforming and optical interconnects.

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. Symmetry 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).
