Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-power diode lasers play a pivotal role in a myriad of applications, from industrial processes to medical devices, and their continuous development is essential for realizing many emerging applications. Recent advances in device physics, material science, hybrid integration, and packaging technology have greatly improved the performance of a wide range of high-power diode lasers. Photonics, an open access journal from MDPI, invites researchers, scientists, and experts in the field to contribute to this Special Issue focused on "High-Power Diode Lasers: Advances and Challenges".
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives addressing various aspects of high-power diode lasers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Power scaling and efficiency improvements in diode lasers;
- Novel materials for high-power diode lasers;
- Advanced diode laser designs and technologies;
- Diode lasers for specific applications (e.g., industrial, medical, defense);
- Diode lasers with innovative resonators and cavity designs;
- Tunable and single-mode diode lasers;
- Beam combining of diode lasers;
- Hybrid integrated diode lasers;
- Advances in diode laser modulation, pulse generation, and mode locking;
- High-power diode lasers in emerging fields (e.g., quantum technologies).

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.
