Emerging Topics in High-Power Laser and Light–Matter Interactions

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a call for papers for our upcoming Special Issue named “Emerging Topics in High-Power Laser and Light–Matter Interactions” in Photonics. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers to demonstrate their latest research on high-power laser and light–matter interaction techniques, with a focus on high-power lasers, advanced imaging techniques, fiber-optics, adaptive optics, and computational laser systems. We invite original research articles and reviews that contribute to these topics. The scope of this Special Issue covers the latest advances in the experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of light propagation in media and its applications in optical imaging. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• High-power laser technology and applications;
• Optical neural networks and machine learning in optics;
• Fiber-optic sensing and communication;
• Adaptive optics and wavefront shaping;
• Short pulse laser generation via non-linear optics;
• Brillouin scattering and its applications;
• Solid-state laser systems and their applications;
• Spectral imaging and its applications;
• Quantum imaging and quantum optics.

We believe that this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in high-power lasers, light–matter interactions and related fields. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
