Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the deployment of fifth-generation mobile systems and preparations ongoing for the sixth generation, optical communications technology is presented as a key concept. Such advances provide unprecedented communication capacity and cost-effective interconnections to support high-bandwidth applications.
This Special Issue, entitled “Challenges and Future Trends in Optical Communications”, explores this exciting field. It presents original and unpublished papers on all aspects of optical communication and networking. It focuses on optical systems research, development, and applications. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts for the Special Issue, including, but not limited to, the following topics (keywords).
Manuscripts must be submitted through the Sensors website; authors will need to register and proceed to the author center. Please then follow the links for the Special Issue on Challenges and Future Trends in Optical Communications.
Dr. Alain Richard Ndjiongue
Guest Editor
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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
