Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that, nowadays, optical fiber communications support global communication networks, which originates from Charles K. Kao’s proposal of using optical fibers as a light transmission medium in 1966. By utilizing different degrees of freedom of the photon, society has made tremendous progress over the past half century. They have explored multiple degrees of freedom of the photon (time, wavelength, amplitude, phase, polarization, and space) to significantly reduce the cost/bit for data transmission, by increasing the capacity/fiber through multiplexing and reducing the size and power using integration.
This Special Issue aims to explore the technology that enables optical fiber communication. It will focus on the state-of-the-art advances from optical fiber communication technology networking applications, as well as the latest advances and prospects. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Direct and coherent detection communication systems;
- Advanced modulation format, shaping technology, and digital signal processing;
- Optical networking for data center applications.

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. Optics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
