Optical Materials Express Feature Issue
Hybrid photonics: integration, design and devices
Submissions Open: 1 July 2023
Submission Deadline: 1 August 2023
Optical Materials Express welcomes submissions to a feature issue in conjunction with symposium N of the 2023 Spring E-MRS meeting to be held in Strasbourg, France 29 May–2 June 2023 (https://www.european-mrs.com/meetings/2023-spring-meeting). While meeting participants are particularly encouraged to submit their work, the feature is open to all other researchers in the related areas.
This feature issue will highlight recent advances in hybrid photonics, with a focus on the hybrid integration of novel materials for integrated optics and nanophotonics. Submissions are welcome on a large variety of materials, such as oxides, chalcogenides, polymers, III-V, halide perovskites, diamond, 0D, 1D, and 2D nanomaterials, and their monolithic or hybrid integration with more standard photonics platforms (Si, Ge, III-V). The scope includes basic physics, devices, integration, material growth, modeling, and emerging photonic device structures.
Topics to be covered include but are not limited to:
- Materials:
- Phase-change materials
- III-V on silicon
- Functional oxides
- Perovskites
- 2D materials
- Applications:
- Tunable metasurfaces
- Integrated light emitters
- Neuromorphic systems
- Electro-optic modulators
- Nonlinear optics
All submissions need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer review processes of the journal. The standard Optical Materials Express Article Processing Charges will apply to all published articles. To be eligible for publication, an expanded conference paper needs to add value to the original conference proceedings. Please see Optica Publishing Group's guidelines on expanded conference papers for details.
Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual guidelines for submission to Optical Materials Express and must be submitted online through the Prism submission system. When submitting, authors should specify that the manuscript is for the "Hybrid photonics: integration, design and devices" feature issue (choose from the drop-down menu).
