Next-Generation Optical Communication Technology for Enabling Versatile Data Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

With the advancement of the global economy, in recent years there has been growing interest in the development of technologies that consider the sustainability of the global environment; this includes reducing carbon dioxide emissions. On the other hand, data-driven technologies such as AI require a large number of semiconductor devices and systems, resulting in significant power consumption. Optical communication technology is once again attracting attention not only for its ability to transmit and receive large volumes of data, but also due to its application as a low-power solution for handling massive data traffic.

This Special Issue aims to compile research related to innovative infrastructure technologies that support a data-driven society, in which diverse data are sensed and utilized to promote sustainable social and economic development. We are particularly interested in the application of technologies that leverage the rapidly advancing field of optical communication.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
