Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Applied Sciences, titled “Advances in Electro-Optical Engineering”, aims to provide a focal point for quality engineering and applied physics-oriented papers in the photonics and electro-optics field.

The primary topical areas of this rapid publication Special Issue include, but are not limited to, new research and advances in development in the following areas:

  • Advanced electro-optical materials (thin film, bulk crystals) production and application;
  • Electro-optical laser beam steering;
  • Lidar technologies;
  • Laser communication technologies;
  • Laser vibrometry;
  • Imaging components, systems, and processing;
  • Advanced digital holography;
  • Nanophotonics;
  • Nonlinear optics;
  • Photonic devices and sensors;
  • Directed-energy and high-energy lasers;
  • Advanced optical design, such as focal field shaping, decentered lens beam steering, varifocal optical systems, etc.;
  • Atmospheric optics.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Precise measurements of electrostatic fields in harsh environments are required in fields ranging from particle accelerators to industrial installations. Many techniques disrupt the field distribution due to the presence of conductors. We present a fully dielectric sensor for very harsh environmental conditions, that exploits the Pockels effect manifested by electro-optic crystals. This system is designed to allow DC measurements to be performed in the frequency domain. The paper discusses an analytical model and simulations of the system, validated with experimental results. The working principle of the measurement technique is explained in detail along the known limitations and possible solutions to further increase the performance. Full article
