Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrafast lasers now routinely produce everyday goods, from mobile phone screens to solar cells, and are employed in medicine, such as in eye surgery. On the other hand, scientific applications of ultrafast lasers increasingly employ challenging technologies, including attosecond pulse generation, the generation of pulses in parts of the spectrum inaccessible to laser media, etc. High-energy ultrafast lasers produce multi-PW peak powers and enable leading physics experiments. New applications of ultrafast lasers are appearing in other fields, including biomedical and optical communications. All applications would benefit from being lower in cost, compact, and reliable ultrafast lasers and integrated systems that employ ultrafast lasers. This would drive progress in the areas of laser components, accessories, and general technology.
In this Special Issue, we solicit original work to be published in Applied Sciences (Impact factor 2.838) on topics including, but not limited to, ultrafast laser source development, ultrafast phenomena, scientific applications, and ultrafast laser technology aspects of industrial materials processing, biomedical research, and optical communications.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
