Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwave photonics is a new interdisciplinary subject that combines microwave technology with photonic technology. It takes full advantage of the flexible access of microwave technology and the large bandwidth of optical technology, and has a profound impact on the development of modern information technology. Microwave photonic integration is devoted to the research and development of core optical chips and integrated modules for the generation, transmission, processing, and measurement of broadband microwave photonic signals. It provides the advantages of small size, low power consumption, arraying, and the quick reconfigurable smart implementation of microwave photonic systems, which is the key to the overall practicality of microwave photonics. In the past decade, microwave photonic integration has shown fascinating advances in materials, processing technology, innovation of passive and active devices, and chip architecture. All these show that microwave photonic integration is the hardware foundation and core technology of the next-generation broadband wireless access network, radar, and electronic countermeasure systems.
Photonics (ISSN 2304-6732, IF 2.536) is an open-access peer-reviewed journal publishing papers in the field of optical technology and photonics applications, such as biophotonics, semiconductor photonics, photonic materials and technology, photonic materials, integrated optoelectronics, photonics device, optical communications systems, imaging systems, etc. The journal is indexed by Scopus, SCIE, Inspec, and DOAJ.
