Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of high-intensity ultrashort laser pulses has created the possibility of new applications for lasers and also the need to understand the new phenomena observed in the interaction of this type of radiation with matter. Numerous applications have emerged as such phenomena have become understood, and special optical systems and more efficient and reliable lasers have been developed. Due to their complexity, high cost, and low productivity, these applications were for a long time restricted to research laboratories. This, however, has recently changed, and the development of more powerful, simpler, and more compact lasers is putting femtosecond laser systems in many applications in industry and other production. Thus, the main objective of this Special Issue is to expose cutting-edge applications with femtosecond lasers that are already produced on a commercial scale or that have the potential to do so.
Included in this context are the technological developments for more efficient and accurate micromachining, applications in physical, chemical, and mechanical modifications of surfaces bulk, and optical/mechanical systems and special techniques for manipulation and conformation of laser beams and computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) that help to improve the quality of the product and its productivity.

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 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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
