Primary Exploration and Applications of Deep Machine Learning in Photonics

Dear Colleagues,

With the further development of computer science, machine learning approaches and their applications have spread across most scientific research fields. In the last 20 years, people have already witnessed a rapid surge of interest in photonics and machine learning, and meanwhile, an obvious increase in the potential of combining machine learning and photonics has appeared. As known to us, with different applications paying attention to different wavelengths, therefore, this Special Issue mainly provides an opportunity to showcase the machine learning techniques in photonics and their related applications. Of course, if it involves application research findings with machine learning in related topics on photonics, we also welcome this opportunity to engage in joint communication and exploration, striving to find new research breakthroughs from joint discussions in various fields.

This Special Issue is dedicated to theoretical or experimental advances bringing together the fields of photonics and machine learning. It is focused on recent advances in frontier technologies, technology trends, and to leverage machine learning in this application. We strongly encourage the submission of papers focusing on the keywords below. However, works on related topics will also be considered.

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.
