Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, optical and acoustic signal processing are undoubtedly key components of large and complex signal processing systems. Optical signal processing can achieve high-capacity data transmission, sensing and detecting the environment and organisms, and promote the high-end upgrade of laser processing. Similarly, acoustic signal processing is significant and irreplaceable in multiple key fields such as communication, healthcare, industry, and ecology. For data processing algorithms, neural networks can deeply explore signal features in the fields of optical image recognition and acoustic pattern classification, etc. This Special Issue aims to comprehensively showcase the advancements in the field of optical and acoustic signal processing, provide a broad communication platform for researchers, stimulate more innovative thinking and research directions, promote the application of optical and acoustic signal processing technology in more fields, and provide more effective solutions for complex scientific problems and practical application.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts introducing the latest advances in "Advancements in Optical and Acoustic Signal Processing". Theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers are welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Optical information processing；
- Development of optical signal processing；
- Acoustic signal processing；
- Combination of artificial intelligence and acoustic signal processing;
- Laser ultrasonic signal processing；
- Application of optical and acoustic sensors;
- Array signal processing;
- Acoustic inversion.

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. 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.
