Photonic Device and Circuit Design: Emerging Technologies and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Designing photonic circuits and devices has become a current research hotspot due to the rapid advancement of science and technology. With high speed, low loss, high integration and other benefits, photonic devices leverage the properties of light to realize a variety of functions, including photoelectric conversion, optical communication and optical computing. One of the essential technologies for photonic device function is circuit design. Reasonable circuit design allows for photonic devices to operate more efficiently. This Special Issue aims to present research findings and practical applications in relevant fields, while delving deeply into the most recent developments and anticipated trends in photonic device and circuit design.

This Special Issue's research topics encompass, but are not limited to, the following:

• Research and application of photonic devices;
• Application of circuit design to photonic devices;
• Optimization and integration of photonic devices and circuit design;
• Applications of photonic devices and circuit design in communications, computing and other fields;
• Future trend and research prospect.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
