Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwave photonics (MWP) is an emerging interdisciplinary area that investigates the deep interactions between microwaves and light waves for efficient generation, distribution, processing, control, and sensing of microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz signals. Owing to inherent advantages offered by optics, such as high speed, broad bandwidth and reduced electromagnetic interference, MWP has become an enabling technology for widespread fields ranging from defense applications, such as radar and electronic warfare systems, to civil applications, such as wireless and satellite communications, imaging and instrumentation.This Special Issue will focus on the latest advances in this multi-disciplinary research area, ranging from novel devices to system test and new applications. Both original research papers and review articles are welcome to present in this Special Issue. Technical topics include but not limited to the following.
- high speed optoelectronic devices
- integrated microwave photonics
- microwave photonic signal processing
- photonic microwave signal and arbitrary waveform generation
- radio over fiber and 5G
- THz photonics
- microwave photonics for innovative applications
SI Best paper award (300 CHF) will be selected from this SI.

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.
