Photonics and Nanostructures - Fundamentals and Applications (Phot. Nano. Fund. Appl.) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published quarterly by Elsevier. There are four editors for this publication; H. Benisty, (Campus Polytechnique, France), T.F. Krauss (University of St. Andrews, U.K.), E. Ozbay (Bilkent University,Turkey), and C.M. Soukoulis (Iowa State University, United States).[1]

Aim and scope

This journal usually publishes original research in experiment, theory and applications. Its focus is photonic crystals and photonic band gaps. Additionally, the journal focuses on topics concerning the development of faster telecommunications, and the transtiion from computer-electronics to computer-photonics.

The authors and readers for Photonics and Nanostructures... are researchers in materials science, chemistry, engineering, optoelectronics, computer science, and researchers involved with applications related to photonic crystals and photonic band gaps.[1]

Coverage overview

Articles published in this journal include topical coverage such as the following:

Theoretical work that is conducted with photonic crystals as related to micro-photonic, and nanophotonic sized materials.

In addition to the afformentioned theoretical work, properties of photonic crystals are investigated and hence, characterized. Such work includes occurances of nonlinearities, band-gap effects, spontaneous emission, and other such research endeavors.

Coverage also includes the general topic of fabrication of photonic crystal structures and devices. Various methods of fabrication are discussed such as lithography, self-assembly, holography, as well as other methods.

Studied photonic structured materials within this journal's scope are subwavelength optics, terahertz optics, metallic, metallic-dilectric, plasmonic, metamaterials, negative index metamaterials, fibers, and "holey" crystals.

Devices at the micro and nano level are also included. At this size, these are optical waveguides, switches, lasers, components of photonic (optical) integrated circuits, photonic crystal integrated circuits, micro-optical-electro-mechanical-systems (MOEMS), phtonic (optical) microcavities, and photonic "dots". [1]

Critical assessment

The journal also includes critical assessments on fields concerned with emerging applications such as light sources, lasers, biophotonics, detectors, optical components, atomic confinement, and molecule confinement.[1]
