Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since its introduction, the adiabatic theorem has been widely applied in theories and experiments in physics and engineering. In optical waveguides, a large class of devices operate on adiabatic criteria. Adiabatic processes occur slowly enough that the field remains in the same mode throughout the device, even when the mode undergoes significant evolution. These devices are relatively robust, and can have a large bandwidth and fabrication tolerance. Recent advances in optical waveguide technology have led to the miniaturization of photonic components and the further development of adiabatic devices. Moreover, recent efforts in quantum technology have also led to the development of novel optical waveguide devices based on new adiabatic protocols. For this Special Issue, we seek papers covering the latest theoretical and experimental results in this rapidly evolving field.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
