Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-increasing bandwidth requirement in data centers will demand 100 and 200 Gbps per lane technologies to provide high energy and cost-efficient data connectivity. Advanced algorithms in coding, modulation, and equalization have enabled new technological routes for optical interconnects industry. However, there will also be various challenges associated with the use of algorithms in the interconnect system—for instance, performance stability, real-time processing capability, and codesign of optical active devices and the optimization approach. This Special Issue will cover all advanced algorithms that are utilized in high-performance optical interconnect for the design of communication, networks, and applications.

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.
