Advanced Studies in Space Optical Communications
This special issue belongs to the section “Optics and Lasers“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After decades of development, space optical communication has evolved into two stages of generation after generation of optical communication terminals. Space optical communication technology has rapidly developed, but still faces many technical challenges. In this Special Issue, we welcome original articles and reviews that discuss cutting-edge research on space optical communication technologies, as well as extended conference papers.
The topics of this Special Issue can cover many advanced sub-fields, including, but not limited to: 6G wireless networks, free space optical communication, satellite optical communication, hybrid RF&FSO space communication, high-altitude platform communications, space–air–groundocean communication and networking, hybird LD&LED communications, space optical wireless power transfer, space SLIPT, and UAV optical wireless communications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
