Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical spectroscopy, such as fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy techniques, and lasers have broad applications in many fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, biology, biomedical optics, and high-resolution imaging. The field of these optical technologies and lasers have greatly advanced in recent decades, with expanded applications for traditional technologies and new technologies developing and emerging. One of the main applications of these optical technologies is biomedical research and applications, such as optical biopsy, which was started about four decades ago in 1980s. With the new development of technologies, such as the optical Kerr effect (OKE), terahertz Raman (THz-Raman), orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light, Majorana photons, and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and artificial intelligence (AI), with Epigenomics for disease, the field of optical biopsy is being rejuvenated.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that introduce the recent advances in “Steady-State and Ultrafast Time-resolved Optical Spectroscopy and Laser Applications in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Biomedical Optics and High-Resolution Imaging”. All theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers are accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Steady-state spectroscopy and imaging;
- Time-resolved spectroscopy and imaging;
- Ultrafast laser spectroscopy;

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.
