Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, both the capacity and spectral efficiency of optical networks have been significantly improved to meet the demands for ever-growing emerging services such as big data, cloud computing, streaming video, Internet of Things, machine-to-machine communication, remote surgery and so on. The next-generation elastic optical networks are envisioned to be more elastic and cognitive, which could dynamically adjust different transceiver and network element parameters, such as modulation formats, signal bandwidth, data rate, transmission wavelength, signal power, etc., to maximize the efficiency of network resources according to different transmission link conditions and network operating demands. To achieve the reliable operation and efficient management of such optical networks, it would be essential to obtain incremental information such as transmission parameters (modulation formats, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), symbol rate, etc.), transmission impairments (chromatic dispersion (CD), nonlinearity impairments, polarization mode dispersion, polarization-dependent loss, etc.). Therefore, optical performance monitoring (OPM) as a key enabling technology for elastic optical networks has been playing an increasingly important role in terms of realizing reliable network operation.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that introduce the recent advances in “Optical Performance Monitoring”. All theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers are accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Transmission parameters (modulation formats, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and symbol rate, etc.) monitoring;
- Transmission impairments (chromatic dispersion, nonlinearity impairments, polarization mode dispersion, and polarization dependent loss, etc.) monitoring;
- Linear and nonlinear noise estimation;
- Physical layer model for QoT estimation;
- Machine learning for QoT estimation.

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.
