Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical fiber communication has been a disruptive technology, enabling fast and reliable communication over long distances. Today, the explosion of data traffic brings challenges and opportunities for change in optical networks. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for relevant researchers, engineers, and industry players to share their latest discoveries, advances, and applications in the field of optical fiber communications. The Special Issue seeks to promote innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange to further enhance the capabilities and impact of optical communication systems and networks.
This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics related to optical fiber communications, including but not limited to:
- Architecture and design of optical networks;
- Optical network switching technologies and protocols;
- Flexible and elastic optical fiber networks;
- Network convergence, including Access, Metro, 5G/6G mobile, and distributed edge computing;
- Photonic integrated circuits and devices;
- Optical network sensing technologies and sensing systems;
- High-speed optical communication systems and technologies;
- Distributed networks;
- Optical access networks;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in optical networks;
- Data center networks for cloud and edge computing;
- New trends and future directions in optical fiber communications.
We invite authors to submit original research articles, review articles, and technical notes that address fundamental challenges, propose innovative solutions, or present significant advances in fiber optic communications. Submissions should adhere to the journal's guidelines and undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the published work.

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.
