Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, and other new technologies, we have entered an era of digitalization and informatization. The number of internet users has been steadily increasing, which has accelerated the exponential expansion of data services. A prominent focus of current research is how to further enhance spectral efficiency and achieve high-speed, high-capacity data transmission. Optical fiber communication plays a key role in increasing data transmission rates, reducing costs, and enhancing system reliability, making it an indispensable part of modern communication networks. At present, key breakthroughs in optical fiber communication technology include high-order modulation formats, polarization multiplexing, wavelength division multiplexing, etc. Optical fiber communication can be widely applied in the fields of the internet and telephone networks, as well as in cable television, data centers, industrial production site monitoring, traffic monitoring and command, and more.
This Special Issue aims to publish selected contributions on technology and applications of fiber optic communications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Optical fiber communications;
- Optical components, devices and subsystems;
- Advanced digital signal processing;
- Novel optical transmission schemes;
- Advanced optical transmission technology.

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.
