Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical Fiber Lasers are a popular laser source from both scientific and applied perspectives. The unique design flexibility of such laser sources offers various possible lasing regimes due to the unique adjustability of their parameters. Single-frequency, continuous-wave, mode-locked, q-switched, gain-modulated, gain-switched, as well as various mixed and transient lasing regimes, have been developed and exploited in relation to fiber laser sources. The availability of a number of different types of active fibers allows fiber lasers to operate at desirable wavelengths ranging from visible to mid-infrared. High efficiency and beam quality also make fiber lasers highly attractive for different industries. Moreover, fiber lasers often serve as a test bed for the experimental study of novel types of micro/nano-photonic devices and integrated optics. The continued development of photonic technologies and electronically controllable fiber components will lead to the establishment of qualitatively new methods of electronic (and even smart) control over laser parameters in different types of optical fiber lasers.
Topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
Novel design of fiber lasers, novel types of fiber-optics elements and fiber-optics devices intended for fiber laser sources; novel physical aspects of lasing dynamics in pulsed fiber lasers; novel methods of static and dynamic control over lasing characteristics in fiber lasers; novel applications of fiber lasers; and novel findings obtained with the instrumental aid of fiber lasers.
If in doubt, potential authors are encouraged to contact the Guest Editors with questions concerning the suitability of their research for the Special Issue prior to submission.
Dr. Aleksey Ivanenko

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.
