Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building on the success of the first Special Issue on Holographic Information Processing, which resulted in the publication of 13 high‑quality articles, and recognizing the significant potential for further contributions in this field, we have decided to organize a second Special Issue on this topic.
This Special Issue focuses on research into digital holography. We call for research papers in the areas of coherent and incoherent digital holography, optical scanning holography, holographic displays, holographic cryptography, polarization holography, holography system design, and holographic information processing in general.
Research manuscripts using machine learning, deep learning, and other artificial intelligence approaches for holographic information processing are especially welcomed, with both fundamental and applied research studies being suitable for this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
