Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear optics stands as a cornerstone of modern photonics, continuously driving scientific discovery and enabling revolutionary technologies. Currently, propelled by breakthroughs in new materials, advanced fabrication, and profound theoretical insights, the field is experiencing a renaissance, relentlessly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. To capture this vibrant momentum, we are pleased to announce a special issue dedicated to “New Perspectives in Laser Nonlinearity: Phenomena, Theory, and Breakthroughs.”
This special issue aims to provide a premier platform for researchers worldwide to present their latest findings and perspectives. We solicit high-quality submissions spanning the full spectrum of nonlinear optics, from fundamental theories to groundbreaking applications. Key topics of interest include: material (such as 2D materials, thin film, meta-materials) nonlinearities and their applications, novel nonlinear phenomena, nonlinearity in quantum optics, advances in nonlinear optics theory and methods, and the nonlinear properties with structured light, etc.
Our objective is to curate a comprehensive archival volume that not only reflects the current state-of-the-art but also charts the future trajectory of the field. By consolidating these cutting-edge advances, this collection will serve as an invaluable resource for the scientific community, fostering collaboration and inspiring the next wave of innovation. We cordially invite original research articles and reviews that contribute to this vital and rapidly evolving area of research.

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.
