Recent Progress in Integrated Photonics

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on "Recent Progress in Integrated Photonics", 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.

This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research on the latest developments in integrated photonics, with a focus on material innovations, device architectures, and hybrid integration strategies. Topics of interest include advancements in photonic devices and systems for applications ranging from telecommunications to quantum information processing. The scope of this collection aligns with the journal's focus on innovations in applied optics, photonics, and nanotechnology, and we welcome contributions that explore both theoretical and practical aspects of this field.

We invite original research articles and reviews. 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
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
