Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The properties of silicon nitride, such as its low propagation loss, high power handling, wide transparency window extended to the visible spectrum, and CMOS-compatibility make it an ideal platform for use in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for certain applications such as LiDAR, sensing, bio-spectroscopy, communication, and of course quantum domain. There are different types of SiN technology, such as LPCVD and PECVD, each with distinct features and capabilities. This Special Issue aims to attract paper submissions on both technology development and from an application point of view.
Globally, state-of-the-art research is taking place, where novel and highly strategic domains are being targeted, from nonlinear photonics for special laser integration (e.g., dual-comb and mode lock), to extremely low loss waveguides for scalable quantum chips, high power handling chips for free-space communication, optical beam forming for 5G, and LiDAR will be considered in this Special Issue.

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.
