Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is related to the conference “The 2nd International Online Conference on Photonics (IOCP 2026)”, which will be held from 14 to 16 December 2026 (https://sciforum.net/event/IOCP2026). The e-conference will be hosted on sciforum.net, an online platform developed by MDPI for scholarly exchange and collaboration.
During the event, a large number of excellent contributions covering key areas of opportunity and challenge will be presented. More specifically, the following areas will be covered:
Quantum Photonics and Technologies;
Lasers and Their Applications;
Optical Communication and Network;
Optoelectronics and Optical Materials;
Nonlinear Optics and Photonics;
New Applications Enabled by Photonics Technologies and Systems;
Biophotonics and Biomedical Optics.
IOCP 2026 participants, as well as all researchers working in the field, are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Photonics.
Submitted contributions will be subjected to peer review and—upon acceptance—will be published, with the aim of rapidly and widely disseminating research results, developments, and applications.
It should be noted that extended conference papers should have at least 50% additional, new, and unpublished material as compared to the IOCP 2026 published paper.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Boris Malomed
Dr. Pasquale Pagliusi

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.
