Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, research on Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) has increased. This has focused on improving the performance of OWC systems—focusing on devices, components, transceivers, systems, and networks—with the aim of reaching the threshold of Gbits/s. In the area of OWC, Visible Light Communications (VLC) are obtaining great results due to the twofold paradigm of the simultaneous exploitation of both illumination and communication, thus becoming a “green” technology with respect to well-known radio frequency solutions.
Despite this, VLC offers numerous benefits; however, there are still plenty of challenges ahead, such as its limited coverage, its heavy dependence on Line-of-Sight, and its mobility robustness. Hence, the community seeks real innovations that are fundamental to VLC.
This Special Issue on “Optical Wireless Communications” is looking for recent advances in VLC, IR, and UV systems, ranging from the design of optoelectronics to understanding communications and signal processing techniques, and from the development of networking protocols to the exploitation of system optimisation. The aim of this Special Issue is to inspire multi-disciplinary international communities to work together in order to achieve hitherto elusive scientific advances.

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. Information 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 1600 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.
