Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonic–electronic integration is at the forefront of modern optoelectronic research, driving advancements in communication, computing, sensing, and novel device applications. By seamlessly combining photonic and electronic functionalities, this multidisciplinary field enables high-speed, large-capacity, energy-efficient, and compact systems that are essential for next-generation information processing and transmission. The continuous progress in integrated photonics and electronics opens new possibilities for high-performance computing, intelligent sensing, and high-speed and large-capacity data, shaping the future of technology.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Photonic–Electronic Integration” welcomes original research and review articles covering fundamental, methodological, and applied advancements, including but not limited to the following:
- High-speed and large-capacity photonic–electronic integrated chip, including silicon photonic devices, thin-film lithium niobate/lithium titanate/barium titanate oxide devices, heterogeneous integration, etc.
- Photonic–electronic integrated communication technologies for high-speed and low-power optical communication and quantum communication;
- Photonic–electronic integrated computing technologies, including optical and quantum computing and neuromorphic architectures;
- Photonic–electronic integrated sensing technologies for precise real-time environmental and biomedical applications;
- Novel optoelectronic devices, systems, and applications, driving innovation across multiple domains.
We invite contributions that address theoretical modeling, device fabrication, system integration, performance optimization, and real-world applications of photonic–electronic integration. Studies focusing on experimental demonstrations, novel material platforms, and emerging trends in this field are particularly encouraged.
We look forward to your high-quality submissions and showcasing the latest breakthroughs in this exciting and rapidly evolving research area.

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.
