Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on neuromorphic photonics has flourished due to the rapid increase in artificial neural network applications. The use of such hardware has the potential to address the growing demand for artificial intelligence. Neuromorphic photonics mimic the architectures and components of biological neural networks in the optical domain, aiming to emulate neuronal behaviour and overcome some of the challenges that traditional computing faces.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in integrated photonic neuromorphic systems, discussing current as well as future challenges and outlining the scientific in addition to technological advances needed to meet these challenges. We welcome a variety of meaningful and valuable manuscripts on neuromorphic photonics, including those related to materials, devices, and hardware architectures for implementing computing, neural sensing, and alternative neuromorphic paradigms. Submissions involving emerging unconventional technologies as candidate solutions for neuromorphic technologies will also be considered.

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.
