Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Designing integrated photonic systems presents a significant challenge, encompassing not only the precise solution of electromagnetic equations but also the integration of material and quantum physics equations to facilitate the examination and assessment of near-field interactions. These investigations must seamlessly align with the processes of device fabrication and characterization, with the purposes of validating device concepts and enhancing device designs. Optical communication networks have become a vital component of both national and international telecommunications infrastructure. Researchers have explored and developed intelligent and advanced optical signal processing methods to mitigate transmission distortions in optical links and transceivers. This Special Issue is dedicated to collecting original research and review articles that focus on recent advancements, technologies, and innovative applications in the field of nanophotonic techniques within optical communication systems, networks, and signal processing.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Nanophononics in communication systems;
- Optical communication systems and networks;
- Signal processing and machine learning technologies;
- Distributed and lumped optical amplifications;
- Linear and nonlinear on-chip devices.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
