Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum science and technology are enabling a new frontier in computing, communication, and sensing, leading to the next era of technology revolution. As the building block for quantum technology, quantum devices such as lasers, detectors, modulators, single photon sources, etc. are seeing tremendous development.
Various new functionalities have been achieved, including single-frequency emission with wide electrical tuning or array tuning, high-brightness single-photon generation and detection, phase-locked multimode frequency combs, short pulse generation, high-speed modulated lasers, thermal electrically cooled THz cascade lasers, topological cavity, and so on. These fast-developing technologies are pushing quantum devices including quantum cascade lasers, superlattice detectors, and single-photon sources as ideal building blocks for future quantum sensing, communication, and imaging. This Special Issue aims to present the latest theory and design and state-of-the-art developments for quantum devices and their applications. Researchers are invited to submit their contributions to this Special Issue. Topics include but are not limited to:
- New breakthroughs in quantum devices;
- Theories and designs of quantum devices;
- Nonlinear optical effects in quantum devices;
- Single-photon generation and detection;
- Power scaling of lasers;
- Frequency combs;
- Integrated photonic circuits;
- Short-pulse generation;
- High-speed modulated lasers;
- Topological engineered quantum devices;
- Novel-material-based quantum devices;
- On-chip quantum sensing applications;
- Quantum communication applications.

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.
