Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are kindly invited to contribute to the Special Issue of Applied Sciences dedicated to pulsed fiber lasers and their applications. This Special Issue is aimed at collecting original research articles dedicated to scientific and technology innovations in all aspects of the development and application of pulsed fiber lasers. Review papers dedicated to the recent progress and important findings in the fundamental and applied research into pulsed fiber laser systems will be also appreciated.
Fiber lasers are known to be very flexible laser sources that offer a variety of possible pulsed lasing regimes with the unique adjustability of their parameters. Mode locking has been perhaps the most fruitful approach to obtaining pulsed output from fiber lasers so far. It provides a great number of options related to static and dynamic control over laser pulse shaping. Mode-locked fiber lasers are applied in many areas, owing to the unique properties of their radiation both in the time and frequency domains. A number of novel promising mode locking techniques have been introduced recently for fiber lasers. Besides mode locking, other effective methods of getting pulsed output from fiber lasers also remain of practical interest since they can provide some useful features. Continued development of photonic technologies and electronically controllable fiber components leads to the establishment of qualitatively new methods of electronic (and even smart) control over laser parameters in different types of pulsed fiber lasers.
Topics of the Special Issue interest include but are not limited to the following:
Novel architectures of pulsed fiber lasers, novel types of fiber-optics elements and fiber-optics devises intended for pulsed fiber lasers, novel physical aspects of pulse shaping and lasing dynamics in mode-locked fiber lasers (or in other types of fiber lasers with pulsed output), novel methods of static and dynamic control over lasing characteristics in mode-locked fiber lasers (or in other types of fiber lasers with pulsed output), novel applications of pulsed fiber lasers, or novel findings obtained with the instrumental aid of pulsed fiber lasers.
If in doubt, potential authors are encouraged to contact the Guest Editors with questions about the suitability of their research for the Special Issue prior to submission.

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.
