OPC 2022 : Special Issue: Optical Signal Processing Technologies for Communication, Computing, and Sensing Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Optical technology is one of the key technologies that have been widely used for communication and sensing. By utilizing different degrees of freedom of the photon, signals can be detected and processed in different dimensions including amplitude, phase, time, frequency, LP mode, OAM mode, and so on. Multidimensional signal processing technologies have thus been broadly studied for improving the performance of communication, computing, or even sensing systems.

This Special Issue will explore enabling technologies of signal processing methods for optical communication, optical computing, and optical sensing. Digital, electrical, and optical signal processing theories, integrated chips, devices, subsystems/systems, as well as future perspectives are all within the scope. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

MDM/SDM signal processing methods and devices
WDM/TDM signal processing methods and devices
Optical AI: optical neural networking, neuromorphic
Digital signal processing for sensing and communication
Optical computing
Ultrafast optics
Nonlinear optics
Microwave photonics
Integrated signal processing circuits: photonics and electronics
Optical processing for 3D/AR/VR
Optoelectronic signal processing devices
