Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Symmetry is devoted to recent developments and applications in nonlinear optics.
One of the most important developments in nonlinear optics is the soliton effect. Solitons or solitary waves are a specific kind of wave. Solitons are stable localized wave packets. Solitons propagate long distances in dispersive media without changing their shapes. Solitons propagate at a constant velocity. In addition, solitons are unaltered in shape and speed by a collision with other solitons. In nonlinear optics, an optical soliton refers to an optical field that does not change during propagation in consequence of a delicate balance between group velocity dispersion and nonlinearity effects. Optical soliton pulses are very useful for transmitting high-data-rate information in long-distance optical fiber communications. Therefore, optical solitons represent a substantial exploratory field. Consequently, the dynamics of soliton propagation has been addressed in various kinds of optical waveguides. In order to reveal soliton solutions with governing equations in nonlinear optics, many integration methods have been proposed. One such method is Lie symmetry, which has been described in a number of excellent textbooks and has been applied to a number of physical and engineering models. The Lie symmetry method is exceptionally algorithmic. This method systematically combines famous methodologies for constructing soliton solutions in optical fiber communications. This Special Issue of Symmetry features articles about all aspects of Lie symmetry analysis in nonlinear optics.

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. Symmetry 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.
