Special Issue Information
Optofluidic technology has quickly grown in the past two decades leading to the realization of several micro-fabricated devices developed to provide new tools for high-sensitivity optical sensing to be exploited in applications related to biomedicine, security, and environment control. A key element of many of these devices is the optofluidic microlaser. A lot of work is currently being developed by researchers to improve the performances of these devices such as low pump threshold, narrow emission band, single-mode operation, and tunability. Moreover, besides optical cavities realized within microfluidic channels, other solutions have been proposed, such as lasing in a droplet, lasing in a cell, lasing with beads, ring lasing, etc. This Special Issue will collect the most recent results on this subject and topics related to it including fabrication technologies, integration of complex optofluidic circuits, and the demonstration of new applications.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 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.
