Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nielsen’s Law states that a high-end user’s connection speed grows by 50% per year. Foreseeing the rapidly growing demand for multimedia services and the trend of service convergence, a deep penetration of optical communication and networks will become the cornerstone for today’s information age.
Photonics is an international, scientific, peer-reviewed, open access journal on the science and technology of optics and photonics, published monthly online by MDPI. This Special Issue is well matched with the scope of the journal and covers various interesting topics related to “Optical Communication and Network”, with submissions invited from both the academic and industrial communities.
