Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advancements in the field of integrated photonics, focusing on the development and integration of photonic devices and systems on chip-scale platforms. Integrated photonics is essential for applications in telecommunications, quantum technologies, sensing, and data processing, enabling significant improvements in speed, scalability, and energy efficiency. This Special Issue will cover the progress made in photonic materials, device architectures, and hybrid integration strategies that combine photonics with electronics. In addition, this Special Issue will explore the challenges related to the fabrication, performance optimization, and large-scale integration of photonics, with the goal of unlocking new possibilities for compact, high-performance photonic systems. This Special Issue will pave the way for next-generation photonic technologies with broad implications across both scientific research and industrial applications.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Recent Progress in Integrated Photonics, 2nd Edition”, covering a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for modern technology. Integrated photonics enables the manipulation of light on chip-scale platforms, making it central to the future of communication, computing, and sensing technologies. As the demand for faster, more efficient systems grows, the integration of photonics into compact platforms is becoming increasingly critical.
We invite authors to submit both original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Integrated photonic devices and systems;
- Photonic integration with electronics;
- Quantum photonics on integrated platforms;
- Hybrid integration of photonic materials;
- Photonic materials and their applications in integrated systems;
- Applications of integrated photonics in telecommunications, sensing, and data processing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Xiaoyan Zhou

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. Photonics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
