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.

The journal also encourages submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 7: affordable and clean energy, SDG 9: industry, innovation and infrastructure, and SDG 13: climate action. Furthermore, Frontiers in Photonics encourages the submission of addenda, replications and confutations of previously published articles in the form of Commentary or Brief Research Report Articles.

Results incrementally above the art or embodiments of known methodologies and technologies are outside the scope of the journal.

Frontiers in Photonics is committed to advancing developments in the field by allowing unrestricted access to articles, communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, and linking together discoveries to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future.
