Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical gyroscope is an inertial sensor that uses the Sagnac effect to measure the rotation rate. Compared to traditional mechanical gyroscopes, it has the characteristics of a fully solid-state structure, high precision, low power, and ease of integration. It is widely used in fields such as aerospace, navigation, land navigation, robotics, simulation training, and scientific research. Currently, classical optical gyroscopes are mainly divided into interferometric optical/fiber gyroscopes, laser gyroscopes, resonant optical/fiber gyroscopes, and Brillouin optical/fiber gyroscopes, as well as some new types of optical gyroscopes, such as optomechanical gyroscopes and optical gyroscopes based on non-Hermitian systems with exceptional point (EP). Researchers are invited to contribute papers to this Special Issue. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fiberoptic gyroscope (FOG);
- Ring-laser gyroscope (RLG);
- Resonant optical gyroscope;
- Integrated optical gyroscope;
- Brillouin optical gyroscope;
- Optomechanical gyroscope.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Liu Yang

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.
