Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Guided-light propagation in optical fibers have been the focus of intense research efforts that range from studying optical communications to sensing and imaging. This Special Issue is intended for a multidisciplinary audience and will present some of the most recent advances and novel approaches applied in the design, fabrication, and application of optical fibers, generation of light beams, and guided-light propagation. Original contributions and reviews on any topic related to optical fibers and light propagation, whether theoretical/numerical or experimental, are all welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Beam generation and propagation in optical fibers
- Optical coherence and partially coherent beam propagation
- Nonlinear optical processes inside optical fibers (including stimulated Raman scattering, stimulated Brillouin scattering, four-wave mixing, and supercontinuum generation)
- Novel optical communication systems
- Novel optical fibers including photonic crystal fibers
- Fiber optic sensors
- Medical applications of guided light in optical fibers

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
