Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The invention of glass optical fibers in the 1960s has stimulated worldwide research and industrial applications ever since, initially in high-capacity telecommunications and later extended to high-energy transmission, optical sensing, biomedical imaging, etc. Three decades later, the advent of photonic crystal fibers, with their holey microstructures running along their length, revolutionized fiber optics and brought exciting new opportunities, especially in nonlinear optics due to the highly enhanced and controllable light–matter interactions. Practical applications are demanding higher performance and more flexible design from optical fibers for light propagation, for example, in their transmission band, optical loss, nonlinearity and dispersion engineering, and in applications ranging from novel lasers sources to optical communications. Therefore, optical fiber technologies need to address new challenges with deeper physical insight and better practical designs.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that introduce recent advances in “Nonlinear Propagation in Optical Fiber Application”. All theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies are within the scope of this issue. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Mode-locked fiber lasers;
- Harmonic generation and phase matching techniques;
- Supercontinuum generation and soliton dynamics;
- Ultrashort pulses compression and propagation ;
- Optical parametric amplification and applications;
- Quantum effects: self- and cross-phase modulations and wave mixing;
- Raman scattering and spectroscopy;
- Brillouin scattering and distributed sensors;
- Nonlinear effects in optical communications;
- Highly nonlinear fibers and specialty fibers;
- Progress in high-quality fiber optics, e.g., gratings, couplers, interferometers, etc.

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.
