Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical communications have been continuously developing over the past four decades, allowing for new capabilities in delay-sensitive network applications and high throughput network applications. Driven by dramatically increasing throughput demand and quality of service requirements, optical communication systems are needed not only in transport backbone networks but also in metropolitan areas and access networks. To further improve communication system performance, researchers have built new optical network system architectures, proposed efficient algorithmic and systematic design, and created dynamic and intelligent optical networks. To further boost the impact of this exciting and rapidly evolving field, this Special Issue intends to bring together contributions from leading experts in the field, fostering effective solutions for the future challenges in optical communications. Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI for optical communication;
- AI-driven optical systems;
- Microwave photonic devices and applications in optical communication;
- Orbital angular momentum of light for communication;
- Rydberg-atom-based communication;
- Digital twin optical networks;
- Optical fiber networks;
- Autonomous optical networks;
- DSP-based monitoring;
- Wideband optical transmission.
Articles, perspectives, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
