Collaborative Innovation of Optical Fiber Communication, Optical Sensors, and Lasers: New Trends and Technologies

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Driven by the rapid advancement of AI, 6G, and the industrial IoT, the development of optical fiber communication, optical sensors, and lasers—core pillars of the optoelectronic ecosystem—is evolving from an isolated process into a integrated network that involves deep collaborative innovation. Traditional standalone technologies struggle with bottlenecks, including limited communication bandwidth, inadequate sensing precision, and poor laser-system compatibility, thus failing to meet the demands for high-speed transmission, real-time perception, and efficient energy supply in emerging scenarios. This Topic focuses on synergistic technological breakthroughs and new trends in these three fields, aiming to gather original research and reviews on cutting-edge directions such as advanced optical fiber materials, high-sensitivity sensing-laser integration, intelligent optoelectronic systems, and cross-domain applications. It seeks to bridge academic innovation and industrial practice, accelerating the translation of novel technologies into solutions for communications, smart manufacturing, healthcare, and infrastructure, thereby empowering the upgrading of the global optoelectronic industry.
