Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent progress in the field of photonic devices helps to establish new prospects in optical signal processing which appear to have impressive performance in the areas of optical/RF communications, quantum communications, optical computing, and optical sensing. Optical signal processing offers different degrees of freedom in multiple dimensions of light waves, i.e., amplitude, phase, wavelength, polarization, and space. This Special Issue invites manuscript submissions in the area of “Photonic Devices for Optical Signal Processing”. This Special Issue seeks to highlight the recent advances and trends in developing state-of-the-art techniques in optical signal processing. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nonlinear photonic devices in photonic integrated circuits, semiconductor devices, novel material platforms, and highly nonlinear fibers;
- Progress on nonlinear optical sources (optical frequency combs; mode-locked lasers and supercontinuum; and applications in optical communications, data centers, and sensing);
- Photonic-based time–frequency techniques and Fourier techniques for communications and information processing;
- Ultrafast optical switching for optical communication networks, optical computing systems, and quantum information processing;
- Reconfigurable and programmable photonic systems and subsystems for monitoring and controlling the optical signals.

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.
