Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to bring together fundamental and detailed studies (theory, simulations, and experiments) in the form of high-quality papers in the field of plasmonic nanojets.

This Special Issue is focused on presenting recent advances in plasmonic nanojet development, reviewing the current status of this intriguing field, and identifying the key areas for future research.

Contributions should include fundamental properties and novel applications of plasmonic nanojets in plasmonic sensors, THz technologies, optoelectronics, material synthesis and surface modification, biomedicine, trapping, sorting, manipulation, and signal amplification.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

  • Sensing, trapping, manipulation, and other applications of plasmonic nanojets;
  • Use of a high-NA focusing nanosecond laser to produce nanojets (nanoneedles);
  • Non-resonant, resonant, and super-oscillation effects in plasmonic nanojets;
  • Metamaterial or graded-index plasmonic nanojets;
  • Nonlinear plasmonic nanojets;
  • Integrated plasmonic nanojet devices;
  • Plasmonic hooks;
  • Novel devices;
  • Two-dimensional materials and ultrathin films.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

An infrared (IR) pyroelectric detector was investigated for terahertz (THz) detection using the principle of the terajet effect, which focuses the beam beyond the diffraction limit. The terahertz beam was coupled to the detector’s optical window through a two-wavelength-dimension dielectric cubic particle-lens based on the terajet effect. We experimentally demonstrate an enhancement of about 6 dB in the sensitivity under excitation of 0.2 THz without degradation of the noise equivalent power value. The results show that the proposed method could be applied to increase the sensitivity of various commercial IR sensors for THz applications that do not require modification of the internal structure, and it may apply also to acoustics and plasmonic detectors.
