Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue of Applied Sciences dedicated to Silicon photonics. Original research short letters or full-length papers in the area of silicon photonic devices, systems, and applications are all welcome. Review papers reporting the recent progress and future perspectives in Silicon Photonics are particularly solicited.
Silicon photonics is a rapidly advancing field because it allows optical devices to be integrated with microelectronic chips and economically mass-produced using standard semiconductor fabrication technologies. In the past decade, optical transceivers based on silicon photonics have significantly impacted the data communication industry. Silicon photonics is now enabling new applications in a wide spectrum of areas including high-performance computing, light detection and ranging for autonomous cars, (bio)sensing, deep learning, and many others. For this Special Issue, we seek papers covering the latest theoretical and experimental results on silicon photonics and toward providing insights into the challenges and future developments of this rapidly evolving area.

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.
