Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research on soliton dynamics in various nonlinear systems, with a strong focus on fiber optics. Solitons, known for their localized and stable wave structures, play a crucial role in optical communications, nonlinear optics, and quantum field theory. This Special Issue explores the mathematical frameworks governing soliton formation, propagation, and interactions, with an emphasis on nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), fractional PDEs, and integro-differential equations. Topics of interest include the derivation and classification of soliton solutions, stability analysis, modulation effects, and applications in optical communication systems. By bringing together innovative studies on soliton dynamics, this Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of nonlinear wave phenomena and foster new theoretical and practical breakthroughs in fiber optics and related fields. Researchers from diverse backgrounds, including applied mathematics, physics, and engineering, are encouraged to contribute their findings and insights.

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.
