Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent progress on micron- and sub-micron light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers and their integration to on-chip applications, as well as other miniaturized devices and light sources. Applications include a broad range, such as on-chip optical communication, sensing, and micro-displays, as well as bright light sources for healthcare applications. This Special Issue also aims to provide a comprehensive review, appealing to both field experts, newcomers and experts with a different background. Authors are encouraged to present their recent research and discuss the technological challenges in this domain. Topics of interest in structural characteristics include fabrication strategies for pixels, including a single nanoLED or single cavity nanolaser, a group of nanoLEDs or collection of nanolasers. Other interest areas include design strategies for controlling laser modes, reducing structural defects and improving overall wall-plug efficiency. With respect to performance characteristics, topics of interest include output power per footprint, power consumption, heat generation issues, response time, pulse and CW laser cavities.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
