The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Advances in Free Space Laser Communications. The emerging field of Free Space Laser Communications has leveraged the huge terrestrial fiber optics industry together with recent proliferation of affordable space launches to become a realistic solution for space-based constellations cross-links, high bandwidth data downlinks and communication needs for human space flight. With multiple organizations across the globe continuing to innovate in this field both with technology development and system designs, lasercom is poised to continue to revolutionize the field of space-based communications in the near future by providing unique solutions to the communications bottleneck as well as systems size, weight and power limitations. The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of Free Space Laser Communications. The purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to highlight the recent progress and trends in developing leading-edge lasercom technologies.

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in 3-D Horizons in Photonics. The integration of photonics and electronics has forever transformed the landscape of modern technology. At the forefront of this revolution is the development of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), which are swiftly emerging as the torchbearers of next-gen circuitry. Historically rooted in the traditional 2-D fabrication processes inherited from electronic ICs, PICs have begun a transformative journey toward intricate 3-D configurations. The leap from 2-D to 3-D, observed recently in electronic IC designs, isn’t just a dimensional shift; it represents a paradigm change in how we conceptualize, design and deploy PICs. The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of 3D Photonics. The purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to highlight the recent progress and trends in developing leading-edge 3D Photonics technologies.

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Photonics for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. Climate change poses one of the most complex and far-reaching challenges for humankind this century. From increased temperatures and extreme heatwaves, to ocean acidification, desertification and increased water scarcity, the broad scope of climate-related impacts we face. Driven, as climate change is, by carbon emissions, significant research efforts have yielded fruitful progress in enabling new, low-carbon approaches to a broad range of energy, water and manufacturing technologies. The extraordinary and unprecedented scaleup in global photovoltaics deployment, for example, is making many ambitious clean energy targets potentially within reach. Beyond mitigation however, there is now increasing recognition that even with the most aggressive decarbonization goals, global temperatures will still rise, and weather patterns will become more extreme. Adaptation has thus emerged as an important guiding framework for developing capabilities that will allow peoples and economies to flourish, even as our planet warms.

This platform will greatly enrich photonic-electronic integration on Si. The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of SiGeSn Infrared Photonics and Quantum Electronics. The purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to highlight the recent progress and trends in developing cutting-edge SiGeSn technologies, from fundamental studies on the electronic structures to demonstration of infrared photonic/quantum electronic devices.

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Advances in Neurophotonics for Monitoring Brain Function. The use of optical methods for neuroimaging has significantly increased in the last decade and plays a key role in understanding the brain functionality. Advanced Neurophotonics technologies provide an opportunity to sense the central nervous system at the point-of-care. The special issue in Advances in Neurophotonics for Monitoring Brain Function will bring together all aspects of advanced optical technologies for neuroimaging applications. The committee solicits papers spans from microscopy to noninvasive functional imaging for better understating mechanisms of the brain.

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Integrated Opto-electronics in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). The recent unprecedented explosive growth of AI/ML is opening up humongous application space and market opportunities, likely beyond the large language model (LLM). The fast-growing workloads and large computing power required to deal with ever increasing complexity in various computations, along with the concern of unsustainable power consumption, clearly demand new generations of hardware architectures with pertinent components. These essentially demand the parallel strategies of scaling-up and scaling-out, in which the photonics have been well-recognized as a promising technology to support. Building upon the previous JSTQE special issues (such as “Photonics for Deep Learning and Neural Computing” in 2020, and “Optical Computing” in 2023), the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of Integrated Opto-Electronics in AI/ML, with the purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to highlight the recent progress and future trends addressing the challenges and opportunities in the areas of leading-edge Integrated Optoelectronics technologies. These are not only on Computing, but also on the efforts, such as in solving the so-called “interconnect bottleneck” in dealing with training and inference. With additional emphasis, this issue would like to pay particular attention to industrial productization and implementation status in relevant fields.
