Frontiers in Photonics

Aims & Scope

Frontiers in Photonics is a research journal focusing on principles, methodologies, and technology that regard light and its exploitation in pursuing scientific and technological missions.

Led by Field Chief Editor Prof Marco Peccianti (Loughborough University, UK), the journal explores the science and technology of light and its many applications in our lives, from farming to communications, addressing valid scientific and technological questions.

Frontiers in Photonics aims to cover all the critical branches of Photonics, from the most fundamental to the applied research, including: • biophotonics • fiber optics • integrated optics • integrated photonic devices • light sources and luminescent materials • micro-opto mechanical systems • neuromorphic photonics and photonic computing • nonlinear optics • optical clocks and references • optical communications • optical information processing and holography • optical nanostructures • optical sensors and imaging principles • photonic complexity and scattering • photovoltaic materials and devices • plasmonics • quantum optics • terahertz and microwave photonics.
