Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-growing demand for high bandwidth in access networks has also stimulated intense research in other areas of telecommunications networking. Especially promising in terms of the quality of service and quality of transmissions are the technological solutions for telecommunications networks that rely on the application of optical fibers. This is the case mainly due to the low price, high reliability and high bandwidth that is available when utilizing optical fibers. Therefore, we invite contributions that report on the current status of technological development and future trends that are pertinent to fiber-optic communications systems. Potential contributions may contain the results of either theoretical or experimental investigations; papers that provide a review on recent progress in fiber-optic communication systems are also welcome. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Passive Optical Networks: recent advances in PON network design analysis, optimization and management.
- Active Optical Networks: recent advances in AON network design analysis, optimization and management.
- Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Networks: recent advances in DWDM network design analysis, optimization, and management; Open ROADM; SDN; NFV; and machine learning.
- Cybersecurity of fiber-optic communication systems: vulnerabilities of fiber-optic communications systems including the identification, detection, prioritization and various other aspects of vulnerability management.
- Power/energy consumption of fiber-optic communication systems: including either theoretical or experimental analysis.
- Cloud and edge computing: the application of fiber-optic communications systems in cloud and edge computing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics 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 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.
