Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infrared semiconductor laser diodes and integrated devices are important light sources due to their incomparable tuning ability, high efficiency and highly integrated features.
The new generation of infrared semiconductor lasers has a greater focus on higher power outputs, low power consumption, purer spectra, narrower linewidths, advanced cascade structures, integrated devices and new laser-generated quantum mechanisms; these play important roles in industries such as detection, Lidar, gas sensing, computing, medical treatment, 6G, quantum technology, automatic pilot and advanced manufacturing. This Special Issue will focus on advances in the mechanisms, materials, processes and applications of infrared semiconductor lasers and integrated devices.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- High-power infrared semiconductor lasers;
- Single-mode lasers including DFB, DBR, ECL and photonic crystal lasers;
- Infrared cascade lasers including ICL and QCL;
- Narrow-linewidth DFB for silicon photonics;
- Low-dimensional infrared laser materials and quantum dot lasers;
- Hybrid- and on-chip-integrated silicon-based lasers.
- Hybrid- and on-chip-integrated silicon-based lasers and relative MOEMS devices.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
