Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past two decades, there has been a significant surge in research and development focusing on ∼1000 nm pumped Raman fiber lasers and ytterbium-doped fiber lasers due to their remarkable performance and potential applications across various research and industrial domains. These lasers operate within the emission band of Yb3+ ions embedded in glass, specifically in the wavelength range from below 1000 nm to 1200 nm. The integration of these lasers within the same laser system has been the subject of numerous investigations, capitalizing on the unique characteristics offered by each type of fiber laser.
Yb-doped fiber lasers exhibit high efficiency with low thresholds, while Raman fiber lasers have higher thresholds but demonstrate improved efficiencies once operational. The integration of both types of lasers creates a synergistic effect that enhances the overall performance of composite systems. This Special Issue aims to compile review articles, original papers, and short communications that explore novel laser configurations involving either one or both types of lasers operating together within the same cavity or in chained configurations as part of more complex integrated systems.
The topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers;
- Raman fiber lasers;
- Hybrid systems: Rare Earth-doped and Raman fiber lasers.

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. Photonics 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.
