Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of ceramic technology has led to significant progress in the fabrication and improvement of the characteristics of magneto-optical polycrystalline materials through a base component of Faraday isolators (FIs) and Faraday rotators (FRs), which are widely used in advanced optical communication systems and high-power lasers for polarization control, optical isolation, and depolarization compensation. In this regard, many works have appeared that describe the preparation and properties of various classes of paramagnetic optical materials (such as garnets, sesquioxides, pyrochlores, etc.) owning superior properties compared to commercially available TGG single crystals.
This Special Issue aims to publish a collection of research contributions illustrating the recent achievements in all aspects of the fabrication and investigation of highly transparent magneto-optical transparent ceramics used in high power Faraday isolators.

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.
