Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Limit-cycle oscillators have been used to model a myriad of periodic nonlinear phenomena. Using the injection locked quantum well, quantum dot and/or quantum cascade oscillators as a paradigmatic example, a strong tuning phenomenon has been experimentally and theoretically investigated for the past three decades. For this Special Issue, solicit manuscripts based on these concepts, advancing the state of the art on these areas, including:
- Isochrons, time crystals and spikes;
- Optical wireless communication based on tunable photonic oscillators;
- Photonic millimeter wave generation;
- Low-phase-noise microwave signals;
- Spectral signatures of exceptional points;
- Self-tuning transmitters for quantum key distribution links;
- Applications in secure chaos;
- Quantum communications;
- RF over fiber communications;
- Quantum sensors applications;
- Quantum noise on limit cycles.

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.
