Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emerging artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) has become popular worldwide, leading to explosive Internet traffic in various optical networks, from short-reach data-center interconnects to long-haul optical transmission. Optical transmission plays a more important role in underpinning the modern information society thanks to its wideband, low loss, and scalable features. In data centers, the ethernet interface is evolving from 800G to 1.6T. In passive optical networks, the data rate is going beyond 200G with flexible adjustment ability. For long-haul transmission, 800G/1.6T is expected with extensions beyond the current C+L band. To achieve these goals, physical layer constraints, such as transceiver bandwidth limitation, cascaded wavelength-selective switch filtering, fiber nonlinearity, stimulated Raman scattering, etc., should be well examined and compensated.
This Special Issue will explore the latest advances in optical networking technologies for high-speed data transmission. In this Special Issue, both original research articles and reviews are welcome. This Special Issue will also report investigations into theoretical and practical challenges to encourage joint efforts from academia and industry. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-speed transmission in on-chip optical networks;
- High-speed transmission in on-board optical networks;
- High-speed transmission in data-center optical networks;
- High-speed transmission in passive optical networks;
- High-speed transmission in fiber-wireless networks;
- High-speed transmission in metro optical networks;
- High-speed transmission in long-haul networks;
- High-speed transmission in optical switching networks;
- High-speed transmission in free-space optical networks.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
