Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
In the last few decades, optical devices based on resonators have played a crucial role in several research fields. Resonant structures strongly confine photons, allowing light to circulate for a long period of time. Optical resonators serve as the basis for next-generation, compact, high-speed and low-power photonic circuits.
Several configurations of resonant cavities with an ultra-high Q-factor have been proposed as key components in telecommunications, quantum electrodynamics and sensing applications. In particular, Whyspering Gallery Mode resonators with different sizes and shapes have been exploited to tailor the resonator response, in compliance with the target application requirements.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect original contributions on the advances in resonator-based photonic devices, including, but not limited to, innovative resonator configurations, functional materials, experimental testing, technological processes, and innovative applications, as well as their integration at a system level.

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. Optics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
