PhotoniX

It is my honor to serve as the founding Editor-in-Chief of PhotoniX. This open-access journal focuses on photonic technology with cutting-edge, multidisciplinary and derivative characteristics, aiming to become a platform to promote the international frontier “Enabling Technology”. It comes at a crucial moment when both academia and industry urgently need a platform to explore the true enabling power of photonics.

I sincerely encourage my fellow researchers to submit their original work and review articles to this journal. Technology breakthroughs, market trends and views from industry are also warmly welcome. Together we will experience the colorfulness of photonics and explore its profound enabling potential.
