Journal of Nanophotonics

Editor-in-Chief: Takashige Omatsu, Chiba University, Japan

The Journal of Nanophotonics (JNP) focuses on the fabrication and application of nanostructures that facilitate the generation, propagation, manipulation, and detection of light from the infrared to the ultraviolet regimes. The scope extends to theory, modeling and simulation, experimentation, instrumentation, and application.

On the cover: The figure is from the Gold Open Access paper "Fabrication of silver-decorated zinc oxide nanowire sensor in microchannels for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy" by Andrew L. Cook, and Todd D. Giorgio in Vol. 18, Issue 3.
