Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interaction between light and phonons is the foundation of diverse and widespread applications ranging from narrow linewidth stimulated brillouin scattering (SBS) lasers to sensing, e.g., acousto-optic imaging and precision spectroscopy, to signal processing, e.g., microwave photonics, to quantum photonics, e.g., using coherent phonon–photon interactions for the routing of photonic quantum states. Recent progress in advanced nanofabrication provides the conditions for enhanced photon–phonon interactions that enable chip-sized acousto-optic or optomechanical applications. Recent developments within this emerging field have shown promising new functionalities and improved performance, with a profound impact on numerous applications.
This Special Issue aims at presenting recent advances in devices and materials for strong acousto-optic interactions, including photonic crystal fibers, multi-core fibers and piezo-active optical materials. Submissions may take the form of original research manuscripts, invited manuscripts or reviews showing state-of-the-art photon–phonon applications and their fundamentals. The topics covered by this issue include (but are not limited to):
- integrated stimulated Brillouin scattering (including integrated SBS lasers);
- integrated acousto-optic signal processing;
- integrated acousto-optic microwave photonics;
- integrated acousto-optic sensing;
- integrated nonlinear acousto-optic interactions;
- integrated nano acousto-optic quantum technologies;
- acousto-optic coupling in nano cavities.

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.
