Aims & Scope

npj Nanophotonics considers all aspects of research in the field of nanophotonics, including fundamental studies, device development, fabrication techniques, and practical applications.

The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to:

  • Photonic and plasmonic metamaterials
  • Nanophotonic and integrated photonic devices
  • Photonic nanostructures, including nanoparticles, nanowires, nanofibers, and quantum dots
  • 2D and layered photonic materials
  • Compact light sources
  • Nonlinear and ultrafast nanophotonics
  • Nanophotonic devices for quantum technologies
  • Magnetophotonics
  • Biophotonics
  • The application of nanophotonics to imaging, sensing, detector, data storage, communications, space or energy-harvesting

The journal offers more choice to Nature Portfolio authors who are seeking a fully open-access and more inclusive platform for publishing their work. The journal is led by nanophotonics experts who collaborate to cultivate high-quality research. As part of the npj Series, this journal focuses on fostering global partnerships with the research community and other Springer Nature journals.
