Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Free-space optical communication, characterized by high carrier frequency and a narrow transmission beam, is the preferred technology for achieving high-speed, long-distance, and secure information transmission. After more than 20 years of efforts by scientific researchers, laser communications have gone through the stages of theoretical research, technological breakthroughs, experimental verification, and engineering applications, and great achievements have been made. In recent years, with the introduction and establishment of new-generation information networks such as low-orbit satellite Internet and the integration of space, air, ground and sea, the demand for space optical communications has become increasingly urgent. Coupled with the rapid development of optoelectronics, measurement, control, and communication technologies, it is imperative to contemplate and research the next generation of free-space optical communication technology. To further advance the development of space optical communication, enhance academic exchange, and showcase the latest achievements in the next generation of free space optical communication systems, Photonics has decided to launch a Special Issue entitled "Next-Generation Free-Space Optical Communication Technology", which is now openly soliciting research papers and review articles in related fields and sincerely inviting experts and colleagues to contribute.
The scope of the call for papers includes:
- New-generation space optical transmission networks, links and terminal architectures;
- New generation of space optical beam pointing, acquisition and tracking technology;
- New generation of space optical signal modulation, encoding and synchronization technology;
- New generation of space optical information transmission, exchange and interconnection technology;
- New generation of space optical time-frequency transmission, measurement and communication technology.

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.
