Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Fiber-Optic Technologies for Communication and Sensing", aims to delve into the innovations within the field of fiber-optic technologies, where fiber-based devices stand at the forefront. This Special Issue aims to focus on the intricate and sophisticated world of fiber-optic technologies—encompassing sensors, amplifiers, and fiber lasers—that are driving advancements across various domains. From the precision required in sensing applications to the demands of high-speed communication networks, and even the emerging challenges in micro-nano research, these optical solutions are proving to be both versatile and indispensable.
In this rapidly evolving landscape, the unique capabilities of fiber optics, such as their sensitivity, bandwidth, and integrative potential, offer exciting new possibilities. This Special Issue seeks to capture the full spectrum of current research, ranging from theoretical explorations to practical implementations. We encourage submissions that push the boundaries of what is possible, whether through novel device designs, cutting-edge signal processing algorithms, or innovative system integrations. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the design, fabrication, and characterization of photonic components and their applications, fiber lasers, optical frequency combs, photonic crystal fibers, nonlinear devices, optical computing, quantum information processing, optical interconnects, and optical access networks.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs).
