Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polarization provides more information for the target recognition from the background, as well as for increasing the detection range in underwater, fog and smoke environments. The use of polarization has become an efficient measure for researching target detection under the low-contrast medium. Therefore, studying the polarization optics, ranging from fundamentals to applications, is vital for practical detection.
This Special Issue will present an overview of polarization optics research fundamentals and their applications. We request research papers on the theoretical aspects and practical applications of polarized optics in this Special Issue of Photonics, titled “Polarization Optics: From Fundamentals to Applications”. This Special Issue will feature original research articles and reviews.

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. Photonics 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 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.
