Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On-chip photonic integrated circuits (PIC) have attracted widespread interest due to their many potential applications, such as absorption spectroscopy, biological and chemical sensing, and free-space communications. Among these applications, photonics and metamaterials have recently offered a strategy to artificially control electromagnetic waves on the subwavelength scale and obtain unique optical response due to their extraordinary properties that cannot be found in traditional materials. With the rapid development of photonics and metamaterials, they could be applied in many fields, such as cloaking devices, thermophotovoltaics, microfluidic chips, biomedical sensors, displays, optical communications, and so on. Current photonics and metamaterials provide an effective approach to perform specifically electromagnetic functions using passive or active manipulations enabling novel breakthrough applications.
This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research contributions dealing with photonics and metamaterials devices spanning the whole electromagnetic spectrum to figure out extraordinary optical characteristics for future optoelectronics integration. The current state of this exciting research field will be presented, covering a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
- A bottom–up approach toward metamaterials and plasmonics;
- Advanced passive and active photonics and metamaterials;
- Novel designs and applications of nanophotonics, metamaterials, metasurfaces, and metadevices;
- Nanophotonics and metamaterials based on graphene and related 2D materials;
- Structural or functional materials and devices for lighting, displays, and imaging applications;
- Light shaping using photonic integrated devices;
- Plasmon-induced hot carrier: fundamentals and applications;
- 3D printing for photonics and metamaterials applications;
- Nonlinear metasurfaces and plasmonics;
- Wave propagation in acoustic and elastic metamaterials: novel design and practical applications;
- Transformation optics and other waves: novel physics and practical applications;
- Bio-engineered metamaterials and plasmonics.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
