Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing communication demand in the military and civilian fields, the diversification of communication scenarios makes the frequency band and bandwidth continuously expanded. The signal processing technology based on photonics has become an important enabling technology for expanding communication capacity and improving communication quality by virtue of its advantages of large bandwidth, multi-frequency band, low loss and anti-electromagnetic interference. To further boost the impact of this exciting and rapidly evolving field, this special issue aims to bring together contributions from leading experts in the field to provide effective solutions for signal optical processing in future advanced communication systems. The topics of this special issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Radio over fiber
- Microwave photonic wideband signal generation and reception
- Optical fiber communications
- Microwave photonic communication sensing integrated signal processing
- Direction modulation signal generation

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.
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.
