Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Underwater optical wireless communications (OWCs) are an innovative technology that can enable high-speed mobile transmission. The use of photonics underwater is restricted by the absorption, scattering and turbulence, and the intensity, polarization and phase of light can be destroyed by underwater environments. These effects can degrade the performances of underwater OWCs in an underwater medium. To overcome the negative effects of an underwater medium, various beams have been introduced into the studies of OWC, such as orbital angular moment (OAM), partially coherent beams and structured beams. Moreover, researchers are developing advanced techniques to enhance the performances of underwater OWC technologies, such as micro LEDs, VCSELs and photodetectors. This Special Issue will discuss the related technologies of underwater OWCs and cover a broad field of propagation, the scintillation index, BER and photonics technologies in underwater medium.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
