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.

The rapid increase in Internet usage has led to a growing demand for bandwidth. Optical microring resonators (MRRs) are emerging as a promising solution to meet this need. MRRs generate optical frequency combs (OFCs) that provide multiple wavelengths with high phase coherence, enabling communication via wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Spectrum allocation methods, such as the Routing, Modulation Level, and Spectrum Assignment (RMLSA) approach, play a crucial role in executing this strategy efficiently. While current algorithms have improved allocation efficiency, further development is necessary to optimize network performance. This paper presents an integer linear programming (ILP)-based method for network resource allocation, aiming to maximize the number request and the bandwidth assigned to each. The proposed approach offers a flexible cost function that prioritizes system constraints such as transmission distance and bandwidth requirements, resulting in significant improvements to the bandwidth blocking rate (BBR). By integrating multilevel modulation and using wavelengths generated by MRRs, this method efficiently handles up to 1075 requests, achieving a BBR of zero. This dynamic and adaptable allocation strategy ensures optimal resource utilization, enhancing overall network performance. Full article

We introduce a reverse-engineered scheme for achieving the precise control of population transfer in nonlinear quantum systems characterized by a 1:2 resonance. This scheme involves the use of two resonant laser pulses that transition from initial and final states to an intermediate level exhibiting irreversible losses. In comparison to alternative techniques, our approach offers computational efficiency advantages. Notably, the analytically defined form of the pump pulse enables tailored control strategies, enhancing robustness against decoherence and imperfections. This flexibility extends to choosing dump pulses and designing time evolution scenarios. These features open doors for practical implementation and scalability in quantum technologies, with potential applications in quantum information processing, quantum computing, and quantum communication.
