Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical communication through turbulent media presents significant challenges and opportunities for researchers in optics and photonics. This Special Issue explores the latest advancements, research findings, and innovative solutions in this field. We welcome submissions presenting numerical and experimental results from turbulent media such as atmosphere, water, marine waters, jet engine exhaust, and tissue; adaptive optics techniques for mitigating turbulence effects in optical communication, free-space and underwater optical communication systems in turbulent environments, and the associated challenges; novel approaches for improving the performance of optical communication through turbulence; and the applications of optical communication in 6G backhaul, satellite, defense, aerospace, and underwater exploration. The constantly growing body of research on optical light propagation and communication through turbulent media demonstrates the many opportunities for increasing its technological applications.
We invite you to submit recent results on optical light propagation and communication through turbulent media to this Special Issue.
We welcome submissions on topics that include (but are not limited to) the following emerging trends:
- Propagation of beams in turbulent media such as atmosphere, slant paths, underwater, biological tissue, jet engine exhaust, and marine waters;
- Evolution of nontraditional beams through propagation;
- Analysis of beams with orbital angular momentum;
- Scintillation and performance analysis of communication systems in these environments.

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.
