Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Optical Wireless Communication

Dear Colleagues,

Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) is a rapidly evolving field that holds the potential to transform data transmission through the utilization of light waves in free space. OWC offers several advantages, such as high data rates, secure communication, low interference, and efficient spectrum usage. These benefits make it an attractive solution for various applications, including indoor and outdoor wireless networks, vehicular communication systems, underwater communication, and space communication.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest advancements and trends in OWC, encompassing theoretical developments, innovative design approaches, advanced digital signal processing techniques, and practical applications. We welcome contributions that provide new insights into OWC systems, including Visible Light Communication (VLC), Infrared Communication, Ultraviolet Communication, and Free Space Optical Communication (FSO). The goal is to highlight cutting-edge research that addresses the current challenges and paves the way for future innovations in OWC.

We invite you to submit original research articles, review papers, and communications to share your recent findings and perspectives in this dynamic field. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue, which will serve as a significant resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners.

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-anonymized 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.
